FC Bayern will pass on one striker candidate.
Last fall, Bayern Munich was linked to Hoffenheim attacker Fisnik Asllani, but it appears that courtship has come to an end.
Per Kicker (as captured by Get German Football News), the Bavarians do not think Asllani will be a fit for them:
Kicker reports that Bayern Munich will not make a move for Hoffenheim striker Fisnik Asllani in the summer.
The Kosovo striker got the assist for Hoffenheim’s goal in their 5-1 loss to the league leaders on Sunday, and has been linked with a departure in the summer due to a release clause that is said to be worth around €30m.
Vincent Kompany’s side are said to appreciate the footballing ability of Asllani; however, they see the striker as too slow to become an option for them in the summer. Add to this the presence of Harry Kane in attack and the extension of Serge Gnabry, the Rekordmeister will need an injection of speed into their attack.
Asllani, who Bayern Munich was pursuing as far back as 2020, played a key role in Hoffenheim’s lone goal during its 5-1 defeat to Bayern Munich on Sunday. Asllani intercepted Manuel Neuer’s pass and fed Andrej Kramarić for the team’s only score.
Asllani is also too good to be a back-up at this stage of his career. At 23-years-old, sitting behind Harry Kane could potentially stifle his development anyway.
