Fisnik Asllani development for Galatasaray's striker candidate
Following the negative outcome of the Demirovic transfer, the yellow-red club has taken action for the young striker wearing the Hoffenheim jersey.
Continuing its preparations for the new season and aiming to strengthen its forward line, Galatasaray has added 24-year-old Kosovar footballer Fisnik Asllani from the German team Hoffenheim to its agenda and initiated transfer talks.
Shift in Transfer Efforts
Wanting to build an ambitious squad for the new season, the yellow-red club had initially targeted Stuttgart striker Demirovic for the forward line. However, after negotiations between the clubs yielded a negative outcome and the player decided to stay at his team, the management changed its course.
New Candidate from the German Market
Failing to get a result from the Demirovic transfer, the Galatasaray management turned towards 24-year-old Kosovar goalscorer Fisnik Asllani, who plays for German Bundesliga side Hoffenheim, and initiated official contacts for the player.
Medical Report Review
Acting cautiously for the transfer—which previously reached the stage of an agreement with Leipzig but did not materialize due to issues during medical checks according to German press reports—the Galatasaray management is having the player's detailed medical reports examined.
Technical Staff's Planning
Fisnik Asllani, who has won the approval of head coach Okan Buruk, draws attention with his high pressing power and effectiveness in link-up play. The player is planned not just as an alternative, but also for dual-striker tactical setups.
Financial Details and Negotiations
It is stated that the German club expects a transfer fee of around 30 million Euros, while Galatasaray is primarily focusing on a loan formula with a mandatory purchase option.
