Barcelona continues to monitor the young player Visar Asllani, Hoffenheim's 22-year-old striker, after he proved his worth with the Kosovo national team and played a decisive role in his team's 4-3 victory over Slovakia in the 2026 World Cup qualifying playoffs, where he scored one of his country's goals.

The Spanish newspaper 'Mundo Deportivo' reported that his agent, Ayman Dahmani, confirmed official contacts with the Catalan club regarding the possibility of the player's transfer during the next summer transfer window, explaining that Asllani will not leave Hoffenheim unless the release clause in his contract, which ranges between 25 and 29 million euros according to various media outlets, is paid.

Asllani has a valid contract with Hoffenheim until 2029 and has delivered outstanding performances this season, scoring 9 goals and providing 6 assists in 28 matches across all competitions. He also scored 4 goals with the Kosovo national team in the last 7 matches, which has attracted the interest of several European clubs.

The report confirmed that Barcelona is seeking a striker to strengthen the team for the next season, with the primary target being Julian Alvarez, but Atletico Madrid will not facilitate his departure, making Visar Asllani a youthful and less costly option, with the potential to prove himself at a major team in the future.
