Nerazzurri to Seek Fresh Loan as Granata Look to Cut Deal Short.

Kristjan Asllani

The January 2026 transfer window has opened with potential early movement for Kristjan Asllani, as Torino are reportedly seeking to terminate the Albanian midfielder’s loan spell from Inter Milan ahead of schedule.

Asllani, 23, joined Torino in August 2025 on a season-long loan worth €1.5 million, with an option to buy set at around €12 million plus a sell-on clause. However, after making 15 Serie A appearances without significantly impressing, the Granata have grown dissatisfied and are exploring an early exit, according to reports from Fabrizio Romano, Matteo Moretto, and Italian outlets like Calciomercato.com and Toro Goal.

Recent signs include Asllani being excluded from Torino’s squad for their latest match, fueling speculation of an imminent return to Appiano Gentile.

If the loan is cut short, Inter have no intention of integrating Asllani into Simone Inzaghi’s first-team plans mid-season. Instead, the Nerazzurri are expected to swiftly arrange another loan move to ensure the talented playmaker gains regular minutes elsewhere.

Asllani, a key figure for the Albania national team, has shown promise in the past but struggled for consistency as Hakan Çalhanoğlu’s deputy at Inter. His development remains a priority for the club, who value him highly despite the Torino setback.

A decision is anticipated soon, with the situation developing rapidly in the opening days of the window.
