Inter Milan’s Kristjan Asllani confirms he’ll stay next season, eager to keep growing with his boyhood club.
In an interview with Italian television broadcaster SportMediaSet, Kristjan Asllani, the midfielder for Inter Milan and Albania international, firmly stated that he would remain with the Nerazzurri next season as they strive to defend their Serie A title. Despite making 23 league appearances for Simone Inzaghi’s team during their triumphant 20th scudetto campaign, Asllani mainly featured as a substitute due to the outstanding performances of Nicolo Barella, Henrikh Mkhitaryan, and Hakan Calhanoglu.
Expressing his contentment with the club, Asllani thanked Inter for their tremendous support and expressed his happiness at being part of one of the world’s best teams. He emphasized the need for continuous hard work and readiness to contribute whenever called upon by the coach.
Reflecting on Inter’s Serie A victory, especially clinching the title in the Derby della Madonnina against AC Milan, Asllani, a lifelong Inter fan, shared his joy and highlighted the team’s ambition to target further success, including the Champions League.
Asllani, who had an impressive passing rate in Serie A, acknowledged the importance of learning from experienced players and expressed his commitment to performing his best on the field.
Looking ahead to Euro 2024, where Albania faces Italy in their opening Group B match, Asllani expressed excitement and determination to compete against familiar opponents, despite the underdog status of his team. He highlighted Albania’s qualification for the tournament as a significant achievement and pledged to give their all on the pitch.
Following Albania’s 3-1 win over Azerbaijan in their final warm-up match, Asllani emphasized the importance of gaining playing time and expressed confidence in his fitness ahead of the European Championship opener against Italy.
