Deco activates a new surprise option in the transfer market

Barcelona’s scouts have closely followed his progress throughout the season, and the sporting department has reportedly already taken the first steps to assess his situation.

FC Barcelona continue working quietly to strengthen Hansi Flick’s squad. While the biggest transfer stories dominate the headlines, Deco is also focused on emerging talents with long-term potential. One of those names is now attracting growing attention inside the club.

Barça have already taken the first steps

According to recent reports, Fisnik Asllani has become one of the players monitored by Barcelona’s scouting department. The Hoffenheim striker has impressed throughout the season with his consistent performances. His development has reportedly convinced the club to gather more information.

Reports also suggest that Deco has already met with people close to the player. The purpose of those discussions was to understand Asllani’s situation and the conditions of a possible transfer. However, no formal offer has been submitted at this stage.

The contacts are considered part of Barça’s normal scouting process. There are currently no advanced negotiations with Hoffenheim. Even so, the interest from the Catalan club is reportedly genuine.

Hoffenheim acknowledge growing interest

Officials at Hoffenheim have also admitted that the striker is attracting attention across Europe. The club’s sporting director confirmed that discussions have taken place with teams from Germany and abroad. He also revealed that Asllani has a release clause in his contract.

Those comments suggest the striker’s future could be decided during this transfer window. Competition is expected to increase if more clubs move forward with concrete proposals. That could make any potential deal significantly more difficult.

Deco keeps exploring the market

Deco continues evaluating different opportunities to strengthen Barcelona’s squad while respecting the club’s Financial Fair Play limitations. Fisnik Asllani is viewed as a player with significant room for development and long-term potential. His profile fits the recruitment strategy focused on building both for the present and the future.

For now, the monitoring continues without an active negotiation. The twist is clear: Barça have identified Asllani as a player to watch, and Deco will now decide whether that interest becomes one of the club’s next transfer moves.

Caution note: At the time of writing, there is no official agreement between FC Barcelona, Fisnik Asllani, and Hoffenheim, and no formal transfer negotiations have been confirmed.
