Fisnik Asllani: I'm no longer 18, of course I think about the future

Fisnik Asllani will be one of the intriguing new names in next summer’s transfer market.

The Kosovan striker has made a good start to the season with Hoffenheim, and his affordable release clause, between 25 and 29 million euros, makes him a
good option on the market.

Barcelona are among the interested clubs, while Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund are the two German giants that have shown the most interest in the 23-year-old.

In an interview with ‘RTL’, Asllani said he follows the rumors about his future closely, but is currently focused on Hoffenheim: “Of course I hear and read things like that. It’s a privilege and I feel a little proud, but I’m focused on Hoffenheim, on the matches, the coming weeks and months. That’s the most important thing for me. We’ll see what happens in the end. Everything in its own time”.

He added: “Of course I talk about the future with my family and close friends. I’m no longer 18, so I have to plan my career and life. I need to know how far I want to go, what I want, know myself and discover what’s important to me, what my priorities are”. For Asllani, a “good life” outside football is just as important, because “one thing leads to another”.
