Barcelona Are Keeping Tabs On 23 Year Old Bundesliga Striker: What Will He Bring To The Nou Camp?

In a recent post on X, Sky Sports reporter Florian Plettenberg mentioned that Barcelona are keeping tabs on Hoffenheim striker Fisnik Asllani. It has been stated that the Catalan club are eyeing a move to acquire the services of the Kosovan talent next year.

Asllani’s Impressive Form In The Bundesliga

Asllani has enjoyed a decent run of form at the German club after he put in a run of impressive displays for them in the final third. The 23-year-old has banged in five goals and earned two assists in seven matches for Hoffenheim this season across all competitions.

The Kosovan attacker has given a good account of himself in the opponent’s half and deserves credit for averaging 3.75 shots per 90 minutes in the Bundesliga. He has kept 36.8% of his attempts on target. However, Asllani has to find a way to improve his link-up play in the final third based on his pass completion rate of 64.1% in the top tier of German football (stats via fbref.com).

His current contract at the German club will run out in the summer of 2029. Thus, the Catalan giants would have to make a convincing offer if they want to recruit Asllani next year.

What Will Asllani Bring To Barcelona?

Asllani can create a yard of space for himself to get some strikes in on target. He has got the eye to create the odd chance for his teammates to find the back of the net.

The Kosovan sensation is also quite clever with his movements in and around the opponent’s penalty box. He can even chip in by scoring his fair share of goals up top. However, it remains to be seen whether Asllani can make a smooth transition to life in La Liga if Barcelona manage to secure his services next year.

We can expect him to bring more quality and depth to Barca boss Hansi Flick’s frontline. He is more than capable of serving as a useful squad player at the Nou Camp.

At 23, Asllani has got his peak years ahead of him, which makes him a decent choice for the Catalan outfit to pursue in 2026. Thus, Flick should focus on stepping up his efforts to land him soon.
