Borussia Dortmund are already planning for a possible summer shake-up, with the club identifying a replacement should Serhou Guirassy depart.
At the top of their shortlist is Fisnik Asllani, the promising striker currently making waves at TSG Hoffenheim.
A Target Already Approved Internally
Asllani has enjoyed a strong campaign, showcasing his attacking instincts and versatility ; qualities that Dortmund believe align perfectly with their high-intensity style of play.
Interest in the 23-year-old is not new, but it has gained fresh momentum with the arrival of incoming sporting director Ole Book. The German executive has a prior relationship with Asllani, having worked with him during his development, and has reportedly maintained close contact ever since.
That connection could prove decisive in any potential transfer negotiations.
Guirassy Uncertainty Drives Strategy
Dortmund’s proactive approach is largely driven by uncertainty surrounding Guirassy’s future. The striker, who has attracted significant attention following his performances, could leave if his release clause is triggered during the summer transfer window.
Rather than wait, Dortmund are moving early a strategy that reflects both ambition and caution.
Competition on the Horizon
However, securing Asllani’s signature may not be straightforward. Other top clubs, including FC Bayern Munich, are also monitoring the situation, setting the stage for a potential transfer battle.
Planning Ahead
For Dortmund, this is about more than just replacing a player it’s about maintaining continuity in a squad built on youth, energy, and attacking dynamism.
