Attributed to original sourceInter have officially loaned Albania international Kristjan Asllani to Al Jazira Club in the UAE Pro League at the age of 24.
The midfielder had such great hopes when he flourished at Empoli and joined Inter in the summer of 2022 for a total deal worth €15.7m.

Last season he was sent out on loan to two different clubs, interrupting the Torino experience in January to have another disappointing spell at Besiktas.
Still under contract until June 2028, Inter had hoped to sell Asllani this summer and raise some much-needed funds to fuel other transfer targets.
Instead, the lack of interest proved concerning, and he was today unveiled as a new player of Al Jazira Club.

It is believed to be just a dry loan without an option to buy at the end of the season, so Inter could be left with a new Asllani problem next season.
The 24-year-old made 99 appearances in the Inter jersey, scoring four goals with five assists.

What happened
Inter Milan have confirmed the loan of 24-year Albanian midfielder Kristjan Asllani to Al Jazira Club in the UAE Pro League. Asllani, who joined Inter from Empoli in 2022, struggled for regular playing time at the San Siro and now moves to the Gulf to gain minutes. The move frees up a midfield spot in Simone Inzaghi's squad ahead of the new season.
Chance analysis
Asllani's departure closes a chapter that never quite took off in Milan. Brought in as a long-term midfield project, he never dislodged the established pairing and ends up in the UAE, a route several Serie A fringe players have taken to revive their careers. For Inter, this trims squad depth in the engine room and signals they may be in the market for a new creative midfield option before the window closes.
Inter lose a squad midfielder on loan, slightly reducing midfield depth and potentially opening a recruitment slot.
