Hoffenheim striker Fisnik Asllani has handed a potential setback to Chelsea’s transfer plans after openly admitting that his long-term dream is to play for Barcelona, despite growing interest from several Premier League clubs.
The 23-year-old forward has emerged as one of the Bundesliga’s rising attacking talents this season with TSG 1899 Hoffenheim, and his performances have reportedly placed him on the radar of CHELSEA ahead of the summer transfer window. German reports suggest Chelsea have already compiled extensive scouting reports on the Kosovo international as they assess options to strengthen their attack.
However, the striker’s own comments have complicated the situation. In a previous interview, Asllani made it clear that his ultimate ambition lies elsewhere, revealing that joining FC Barcelona remains his biggest career dream.
“My dream club has always been FC Barcelona. I’ve always wanted to play there,” he said, while also stressing his desire to compete in the Champions League.
Those remarks have naturally strengthened Barcelona’s position should they decide to pursue a deal, with the Spanish giants believed to be monitoring him as part of their long-term planning in attack.
IcChelseanews says.
Asllani is one of those strikers that CHELSEA wants because they believe he could be something special, that he would grown into a world class forward, but he is no better than Liam Delap is.
The summer will give the club a chance to sign some impact players, Asllani has been linked, but he would not add to our attack if he was signed. So the news that Barcelona is the move that he would prefer is probably the good option for us.
We dont need to waste £40, 50 or even £60 million to sign this lad, we can use that money to add a more established forward.
