Chelsea have opened talks with Hoffenheim over the potential transfer of Fisnik Asllani, who currently plays as a forward. Negotiations are active and ongoing after an opening bid was submitted, though there is reportedly still some distance between the clubs on valuation. However, discussions are said to remain open and constructive - as both sides explore whether there is a deal to be done. Leipzig, Aston Villa and Dortmund have not withdrawn their interest and could still influence the outcome. Hoffenheim continue to be linked with Kodai Sano, Nathan De Cat and Jens Stage while Chelsea are also rumoured to be tracking Danilo Dos Santos De Oliveira, Geovany Tcherno Quenda and Crysencio Summerville.
