“The situation is that there are talks with clubs both domestically and abroad. It’s also no secret that Asllani has a release clause,” Schicker told Kicker.

Barcelona are among those linked with the German-born striker and could step up their pursuit if Ferran Torres leaves for Paris Saint-Germain.  Chelsea and Tottenham are also reportedly interested in securing his services. 

Asllani enjoyed a breakthrough season, scoring 10 goals and providing nine assists in 33 appearances, making him an attractive option for clubs seeking attacking quality at a reasonable price. Hoffenheim now face a battle to retain one of their brightest talents.
