Asllani stays at Hoffenheim: Werder Bremen comes away empty-handed!
TSG Hoffenheim has extended the contract with striker Fisnik Asllani until 2029. This means that the talented 22-year-old remains in the Kraichgau team after his successful loan spell at SV Elversberg. Werder Bremen, who tried to transfer the player, came away empty-handed Weser courier reported.
Asllani, who attracted attention at SV Elversberg last year and scored 18 goals and nine assists in the regional league, has decided to stay at TSG. His impressive performances not only contributed to his loan team's escape from relegation against 1. FC Heidenheim, but also led to his market value increasing tenfold. This is currently around 8 million euros, making him the second most valuable player in his position in the Hoffenheim squad, behind Gift Orban, whose market value is 10 million euros.
The decision for Hoffenheim
A crucial factor in Asllani's decision was a conversation with Hoffenheim coach Christian Ilzer, which gave the striker additional reasons to stay at TSG. In 2020, Asllani moved from the U19 of 1. FC Union Berlin to the U23 of Hoffenheim on a free transfer and was promoted to the professional squad a year and a half later. Although he has not had any goal involvements in these first games for the first team, his development over the past season has made him a sought-after player.
Those responsible at Werder, led by coach Horst Steffen, had placed Asllani at the top of their wish list for the coming season. The coach under whom Asllani made his breakthrough in the last second division season would have liked to see the striker back on the Weser. But despite the interest and the excellent experience that Asllani gained under Steffen, the move to Werder did not materialize.
Outlook for the future
TSG Hoffenheim plans to continue to rely on Asllani, which is understandable after his strong performances in Elversberg. Interest in him is high and there are also offers internationally. Nevertheless, the focus remains on the coming season, in which Hoffenheim pursues even bigger goals with Asllani at the helm.
The situation remains bittersweet for Werder Bremen fans: a promising talent that they would have liked to see in their own squad remains at another club. The developments surrounding Fisnik Asllani show once again how dynamic and challenging football has become.
