Inter Milan midfielder Kristjan Asllani has reportedly turned down a move to Real Betis, as he wants to stay in Serie A.

This according to Italian broadcaster SportMediaset, via FCInterNews. They report that the 22-year-old wants to stay in Serie A this summer.

Kristjan Asllani has come to the end of his third season as an Inter player.

The Albanian joined the Nerazzurri in the summer of 2022 from Empoli.

Whilst Inter had high expectations for Asllani when they signed him, the young midfielder has never quite managed to live up to them.

Asllani has had some positive moments in an Inter shirt. However, crucially, he has never looked like he can inherit a starting spot in holding midfield.

Kristjan Asllani Turns Down Real Betis – Only Wants A Move Within Serie A

For this reason, it still looks very likely that Inter will look to move Kristjan Asllani on this summer.

And considering the former Empoli midfielder’s age, there is no shortage of transfer interest.

La Liga side Real Betis reportedly want to sign the Albanian. The Europa Conference League finalists have approached Inter about a deal.

However, reports SportMediaset, Asllani has rejected the move.

The former Empoli midfielder wants a move within Serie A. He is not keen on joining a club outside of Italy.

There has been some interest in Asllani from teams in the Italian top flight. Bologna and Fiorentina reportedly consider the 22-year-old to be a target.
