Asllani has returned to Inter after a six-month loan at Besiktas, with the Turkish club opting not to trigger their option to buy in order to focus on other business. His return to Milan is expected to be brief regardless, with the club having already decided he does not figure in their plans for the coming season and instead looking to recoup a fee through a permanent sale.
Speaking to L'Interista, Albanian journalist Kristi Sejatllari, who closely follows players from the national team, confirmed the 24-year-old midfielder no longer factors into Inter's project but added that no official offers have yet arrived for him this summer.
"There is no concrete path for his future," Sejatllari said, suggesting any exit is unlikely to be resolved quickly and will instead depend on an interested club making the first concrete move. Atalanta and Sassuolo have both been credited with interest in Asllani, who joined Inter from Empoli in 2023.
Inter Milan's pre-season form, meanwhile, continues to please head coach Cristian Chivu, whose side beat Enzo Maresca's Manchester City on penalties in Hong Kong after a 1-1 draw in normal time, with Divin Mubama's opener cancelled out by a Benjamin Pavard equaliser.
Young substitutes Mosconi and Lavelli both converted confidently from the spot as Inter won the shootout, before the squad departs for Australia, where they face Milan on August 5 and Juventus on August 8 in Perth.
"First of all, I'm happy that nobody got injured โ in these friendlies that's one of the most important things," Chivu told Inter TV. "We arrived two days ago, yesterday we had a light training session but the lads showed the pride of great champions, worthy of the team they represent.
"They played a very good first half in terms of reading the game and building play, even though they weren't in top condition."
Asked about the contribution of Inter's younger players, several of whom featured prominently against City, Chivu struck a note of encouragement mixed with patience.
"The young players can and must do better, like the whole team. For them this is only the start, they're beginning to get a taste of football at a high level, but they always have to think that they can improve, and that applies to them just as much as to their more experienced team-mates.
"It always starts from this, from the right attitude, from a desire to prove they can play at a high level, then you need a bit of patience with them because in certain situations you can still see the lack of experience at these speeds of play. They have a lot to learn, but they're doing very good work and giving us a great contribution," he said.
Looking ahead to the Australia leg of the tour, Chivu added: "We want to have good training sessions and improve our condition in the matches to come, because matches are always the best training. We have to try to stay healthy and avoid injuries: in August, with these long trips, that's the primary objective."
