Leon Avdullahu may be one of the most popular names in the upcoming summer’s transitional term, as Kosovo midfielder interest is growing. According to the German medium FusballtransfersAtlético Madrid put it on the list for next season.
Diego Simeon’s team is in search of a defensive midfielder, which is eventually smart and strong in the defence phase. In this profile is Avdullahu, who is developing good presentations with Hoffmannheim in Bundesliga.

Hoffmannheim had paid 8m euros in 2025 to transfer Avdullah from Basel, a club where he had developed as a football player. Since then, midfielder has become an important element of the German team and one of the players that has helped improve its results.
So far, Avdullahu has recorded 48 official presentations with Hoffenheim, achieving a goal and providing an assistation. He has contracts with the German club until 2031, what can make it difficult to reach an agreement on his transfer.
Basel also hopes for the sale, as it would greatly benefit from another transfer of their local talent thanks to the compensation of training and a resuscitation clause put in contract.
According to the report, besides Avdu God, Atlético Madrid is also examining other names for the midfield, including Stefan Dzodic of Almeria and Michael Merinnon of Arsenal.
