RB Leipzig’s transfer of Fisnik Asllani falls through due to medical concerns
The Kosovo international's move from Hoffenheim to Leipzig reportedly collapses at the final hurdle after issues emerged during medical checks
Fisnik Asllani’s anticipated move from TSG 1899 Hoffenheim to RB Leipzig has fallen apart after medical concerns derailed what had widely been described as a done deal. The 23-year-old Kosovo international striker had been on the verge of completing a transfer worth a reported fee in the range of €25-30 million, only for the process to unravel at one of football’s most routine checkpoints.
Note to editor: This article cannot be responsibly pruned and published because its central premise is factually incorrect. The research context explicitly states that Asllani successfully passed his medical examination and the transfer was finalized. The article’s entire narrative — that the medical failed and the deal collapsed — is contradicted by every source cited in the research, including Sky Germany and Florian Plettenberg. The article fabricates a transfer collapse that did not occur.
Publishing any version of this article would constitute misinformation. The article should be rejected and rewritten to reflect that the transfer was completed successfully, with Asllani passing his medical in Salzburg around August 6-7, 2026, and signing a contract with RB Leipzig running until 2031 for a fee of €25-30 million.
