Asllani Rejects €15M Betis Offer, Insists on Staying in Serie A Despite Inter Exit Plans

Football & Cricket

According to reports from Gazzetta dello Sport, Kristjan Asllani is not considered part of Inter Milan`s long-term plans. However, the Albanian international midfielder is adamant about continuing his career in Serie A and has already turned down a permanent transfer offer worth €15 million from Spanish club Real Betis.

Asllani`s Preference: Staying in Italy

Asllani is reportedly aware that he falls outside Inter`s strategic vision for the 2025-26 season. Despite this, he has expressed a strong disinclination to move to a foreign league.

Inter`s management has explicitly informed the former Empoli player that he is not a central figure in their future squad, especially following the recent arrival of Petar Sucic, who made his Inter debut at the Club World Cup earlier this summer.

While a transfer to a foreign club would be the most straightforward path to meet Inter`s valuation of at least €15 million, the 23-year-old is steadfast in his desire to remain in Serie A.

Media reports indicate that other Italian clubs, such as Bologna and Fiorentina, have expressed interest in the former Empoli midfielder, though they reportedly prefer a loan agreement over a permanent transfer.
