Monza’s wait continues: The Asllani puzzle and Maye’s surge

Stuck in traffic at Viale della Liberazione. Asllani isn’t sold on Monza yet, opening the door for Maye to move instead, while Massolin prepares to pack his bags.

Asllani: A bridge too far for Monza?

The transfer dance between Inter and Monza has hit a significant snag. According to Fabrizio Romano, Kristjan Asllani to Monza is far from a done deal. The Albanian midfielder, aware of his own technical value, is reportedly considering other options on the table. While Inter would be happy to see him get consistent Serie A minutes under Alessandro Nesta, Asllani is holding out for a project that might align more closely with his European ambitions. For now, the documents remain unsigned on Marotta’s mahogany desk.

Maye enters the frame

With the Asllani deal stalling, Monza have quickly pivoted to ensure they don't leave the summer window empty-handed. Reports suggest that Maye is now the leading candidate to join the Brianzoli tomorrow. The young talent, who showed flashes of brilliance during the U.S. tour, could benefit from the immediate exposure Monza offers. For Inter, it's a strategic move: if Asllani stays to provide midfield depth, Maye gets the development minutes he needs to return a more complete player for Chivu's future plans.

Massolin: The exit is certain

While other deals fluctuate, the fate of Massolin seems set. The young defender is expected to leave Inter on loan within the next 24 hours to gain experience in a more competitive environment. Management believes that another season of Primavera football would be a disservice to his growth. The destination hasn't been finalized, but several Serie B clubs and mid-table Serie A sides have inquired about a dry loan until June 2027.

Balancing the books and the locker room

For Marotta and Ausilio, these final 48 hours are about more than just moving players—it’s about preserving the harmony Chivu has built. Keeping Asllani against his will could be risky, but selling him without a replacement is equally dangerous given Calhanoglu’s workload. The emergence of Maye as a Monza alternative gives Inter a "Plan B" that keeps everyone happy. As the deadline approaches, the Beneamata remains the most active player in the Italian market, ensuring every gear in the machine is perfectly oiled.

The ForzaIM Take

Asllani is becoming a nuisance. He’s failed miserably at Inter but also everywhere he was sent out on loan with option to buy. None have excercised their option for him. That said, Maye going to Monza is great—it keeps our relationship with Monza healthy and develops one of our most exciting prospects. Massolin’s loan is common sense. We’ve managed the entries perfectly; now it’s just about making sure the exit door doesn't hit anyone on the way out.

Should Inter terminate Asllani's contract altogether, or is it better to keep him until some interest is shown?

Forza Inter sempre!
