- Don't have one.
I remember watching an interview with him at the beginning of preseason, and he seemed adamant about staying, didn't even contemplate it. Probably was hoping he would have more playing time now that brozo is gone, but I think what changed his mind is inzaghi just doesn't trust him, period. And he saw that in these last two games.

10 years of FIFIt's really puzzling to me why we redeemed Asllani.

Best Overall PosterBecause we were obliged to. All these options are masked obligations for FFP purposes. If i recall correctly there was a really silly term to turn option into obligation. First point in Serie A in February.

Do you know if the management highly regards him and Inzaghi doesn’t see the potential?What's weird is that it took so long

10 years of FIFNostradamusMost Passionate MemberManagement serves the coach's needs in the way they see fit or are able to operate given the restrictions, that's all that can be said.
If Inzaghi rates a player, management won't seek to send hin away.
If he doesn't rate a player and wants a replacement, if it's feasible they'll look to accommodate that.
For example last season Gagliardini couldn't be moved. Nor the year before. He refused all destinations presented whether they were Serie A, PL or some fringe league's team.
If Asllani decides that he'll be better off somewhere else, be it Sassuolo or another team, and we can pull a deal off without enforcing the Zhang buzzer, an incoming (loan/free) transfer will take place.
Don't think there's any players left to sell now, so transfer budget won't be affected.
I can tell you for a fact that Inzaghi would appreciate 2 new midfielders and 1 new striker. But this has to come at zero added cost.
Remember that in terms of quantity, the bare minimum was to add another midfielder (eg Samardzic), and we don't have someone else yet.

I’m not an Asllani hater but he absolutely needs to play and he’s not going to get enough minutes at inter while Inzaghi is around. If getting Lopez meant losing Asllani, I would still do it.
