  • Acun Ilıcalı's Hull City is reportedly interested in signing midfielder Kristjan Asllani, who spent last season on loan at Beşiktaş.
  • Hull City aims to strengthen its squad for its return to the Premier League, with midfield reinforcement being a priority.
  • Inter, Asllani's parent club, reportedly wants to include a mandatory purchase clause in any deal.

Hull City, under the ownership of Acun Ilıcalı, is actively seeking to bolster its squad as it prepares for its return to the Premier League. The club has already announced four signings and is now focusing on reinforcing its midfield.

The latest name linked with a move to Hull City is Kristjan Asllani, a midfielder who concluded the previous season on loan at Turkish club Beşiktaş. Reports suggest that Hull City is keen on acquiring the player, potentially with an option to buy.

However, negotiations may face a hurdle as Asllani's parent club, Inter Milan, reportedly insists on a mandatory purchase clause being included in any transfer agreement. This condition could complicate Hull City's pursuit of the Albanian international.

Asllani, 24, made 17 appearances for Beşiktaş during his loan spell, contributing two goals and two assists. Prior to his time in Turkey, he also played for Empoli and Torino. His potential move to Hull City hinges on the agreement between the clubs regarding the transfer terms.
