Union Berlin reportedly seek to bring Fisnik Asllani back home | OneFootball

Kicker reports that 1. FC Union Berlin’s urgent search for more attacking assistance has led them to a familiar name. Former FCU academy man Fisnik Asllani is on the radar of die Eisernen. The Berlin-native left Köpenick for Hoffenheim back in July 2020.

Asllani has contested 10 Bundesliga matches for his current parent club. The German-Kosovar’s stock has nevertheless risen following successful loan stints with Austria Wien and SV Elversberg.

Ten league goals and six assists in the 2. Bundesliga this season saw him nearly triple his estimated market worth from €1.2m to €3m. Freiburg reportedly also take interest in the 22-year-old.

Elversberg sporting director Nils Ole-Book – as quoted by Kicker – remains emphatic about not allowing Asllani’s current loan arrangement to be terminated early, however.

Hoffenheim also hold all the cards with respect to their prospect and can easily engineer a bidding war between the two interested Bundesliga parties.
