Kristjan Asllani missed another opportunity to show his worth and will leave at the end of the season even though he is under contract until June 30, 2028. According to Gazzetta dello Sport, the Albanian midfielder was the weakest in the 3–0 defeat to Milan that led to Inter's elimination from the Italian Cup.
"Gazzetta dello Sport" emphasizes that the derby in the Coppa Italia will be Asllani's last in the Inter shirt.
"Theoretically, the adjective 'futuristic' would suit Asllani well. But we are now at the end of his third season with Inter. Enough for the managers and the coach to have a clear idea of ??his potential and his real ability to put him on the field. Even with him there will be a split at the end of the season, Inter in the middle will make other choices alongside Çalhanollu.
When he arrived – it was the summer of 2022 – Inter thought they had found a potential star, so much so that they decided to invest 14 million euros in the midfielder. But Asllani remained practically frozen: the promise of a champion, only a promise. Little, very little, has grown over these three seasons: the difference between starters and substitutes in his case is gigantic. And the limits always seem the same: the opponents change and the weeks pass, but the slowness of thought in the circulation of the ball is evident.
"In the first half, Inzaghi practically stood up to show him what kind of solution to make, then at the beginning of the second half he also gave in and replaced him. Another missed opportunity. Who knows how many more will remain," the article of the famous Italian newspaper about the Albanian midfielder is written.
