Inter Milan and Bologna Finalize Kristjan Asllani Transfer Deal

August 19, 2025 – Inter Milan and Bologna have reached an agreement for the transfer of Albanian midfielder Kristjan Asllani, marking a significant move in the Serie A transfer window. The 23-year-old, who has struggled for regular first-team action at Inter, is set to join Bologna for a fee close to €10 million, with an additional 40% sell-on clause included in the deal. Negotiations between Asllani’s camp and Bologna are progressing smoothly, with the Italian club expressing confidence in finalizing contract terms soon.

Asllani, who joined Inter from Empoli in 2022 and won the 2022 Supercoppa Italiana, has been deemed surplus to requirements following the arrivals of Piotr Zieliński and Petar Sučić. Despite his potential, demonstrated during his early career with Empoli, his limited opportunities at Inter have paved the way for this transfer. The sell-on clause reflects Inter’s strategic approach, ensuring a share of future profits should Asllani’s career flourish under Bologna’s guidance.

The move keeps Asllani in Serie A, where he has prioritized staying, having previously turned down interest from Real Betis. This transfer underscores Bologna’s ambition to bolster their midfield, while Inter secures immediate funds and a long-term stake in the young talent’s development.
