Inter Milan outcast Kristjan Asllani will leave Torino in the coming days after the club decided to terminate his loan.
Speaking to Sport Mediaset via FCInterNews, Torino CEO Gianluca Petrachi confirmed the club’s stance on the 23-year-old.
Torino signed Kristjan Asllani on loan with an option to buy in the summer.
Meanwhile, the former Empoli midfielder had hoped to get his faltering career back on track in Turin.
Despite making 15 Serie A appearances in the first half of the season, Asllani’s time at the Olimpico Grande Torino has expired.
Gianluca Petrachi Reveals Torino Stance on Inter Milan Flop Kristjan Asllani
Torino coach Marco Baroni omitted the Albanian star from his squad for tonight’s Coppa Italia clash against Roma.
In addition to Asllani, Baroni also left Saba Sazonov and Niels Nkounkou out of the team, indicating all three could soon leave the club.
Asked whether the trio’s omission was linked to the transfer market, Petrachi replied: “They’re players who are on the market, that’s quite clear.
“A few others are dealing with minor physical issues, but we’ve certainly drawn a line within the dressing room and the club structure.
“We know what we have to do. As I’ve explained many times, we have 32 players, and someone has to leave.”
Though Asllani’s return to San Siro looks imminent, he has no place in Cristian Chivu’s plans.
Therefore, Beppe Marotta is already trying to find a new club for Inter’s unsettled playmaker.
We play against Torino in Coppa Italia. We avoided Roma.
Best luck, Kristjan. I wish you were better player for my Inter, my compatriot.
Inter paid €13M for Asllani;
Napoli paid €16M for Anguissa.
The talent is there. He was probably the most promising young midfielder in Serie A that summer, but he chose to not keep working and maturing.
Too passive not taking risks and decided to play safe to be on the coach good side and he probably believes that so he doesn’t do enough while playing. For instance only recently Barella is being too passive but before everytime Barella receives the ball he’s looking to make something happen and it failed often but when it worked it’s world class. But for Asllani he prefers the next simple pass next him and only a risky pass when it presents itself. Basically Asllani wanted to be a bench player and more than happy to be that he actually ended up ruining his career and now he must do a lot to convince everyone that he’s actually decent.
