Barcelona Eyes Aslani's Situation Amid Hoffenheim's Transfer Talks

Barcelona continues to keep an eye on young striker Visnik Aslani of Hoffenheim, preparing to make a move during the summer transfer window, especially if Ferran Torres leaves the team.

Spanish newspaper "Sport" reported that Hoffenheim's sporting director, Andreas Schäfer, confirmed negotiations with clubs both in Germany and abroad regarding the player, noting that his contract includes a release clause of €29 million.

The report added that Aslani has temporarily halted negotiations with Borussia Dortmund, waiting to see if Barcelona will officially enter the race for his signature.

It was also mentioned that the player has started his pre-season preparations with Hoffenheim, despite being aware that his future may be decided in the coming weeks, with several clubs interested in securing his services.

The report clarified that Barcelona scouts have been following Aslani throughout last season, and sporting director Deco held a meeting with the player's representatives, who have expressed a desire to wear the Catalan club's jersey on multiple occasions.

While Barcelona is currently focused on signing Julián Álvarez, Aslani's case remains relevant, especially after the slowdown in negotiations for his transfer to Borussia Dortmund.
