Barcelona have entered a frenzied race to sign Kosovo striker Vesnik Aslani, the German Hoffenheim star, as a possible replacement for Spain’s Ferran Torres, whose future with the Catalan club has become uncertain despite his brilliance in the 2026 World Cup final.
According to Catalan Sport, the 23-year-old Aslani, who scored 11 goals and provided eight assists in 35 games for Hoffenheim last season, has come under the Blaugrana’s eye as a promising attacking option, especially since his contract release clause is only €29 million, making him relatively affordable in light of the club’s financial deal.
Torres between innovation and comfortto:
Barcelona face a real dilemma with the 26-year-old Torres, who became a national hero in Spain after scoring the decisive goal in the last World Cup final. The club are keen to extend the remainder of his contract by a year, but the player is seriously considering a move away amid strong interest from Paris Saint-Germain and Atletico Madrid, prompting the Catalan administration to urgently seek alternatives.
Aslani postpones Leipzig, waiting for “Barcelona”.
Despite Aslani’s initial agreement to join German club Leipzig, the Kosovo striker is waiting to make a final decision pending an official offer from Barcelona, clearly indicating his preference for a move to the Catalan club should they make a concrete offer.
The timing factor increases the pressure on Barcelona’s administration, who must now quickly resolve the Torres case before a formal move for Aslan is made, especially as Leipzig pressure the player to decide his position, which could force the Blaugrana to miss out on signing one of the German league’s most popular talents.
