The upcoming summer transfer window is set to be particularly intense for Albanian internationals. From the goalkeepers to the forwards, many players from the Albanian national team are preparing for potential moves.

Unlike many others, Ernest Muçi and Kristjan Asllani seem to have more stable positions due to their long-term contracts with their respective clubs. However, their immense talent and potential make them continuous attractions in the transfer market.
As a result, two of the brightest talents in Albanian football might find themselves playing together at a new club next season. Aston Villa is the team that has both players on their summer transfer target list.
The interest in these two has been longstanding. Aston Villa scouted Asllani last summer, while they made an €18 million offer for Muçi, which Besiktas rejected.
However, the Turkish club risks missing out on European competitions unless they win the Cup. This scenario makes it difficult for them to maintain a high-cost squad, and selling the former Tirana forward could finance their next season.
Aston Villa is expected to make another offer around €20 million for Muçi, and the same amount for Asllani, according to reports from Italy. A total of €40 million for these two Albanian stars, who are focused on the upcoming European Championship. A strong performance in the tournament could further increase their market value, making them even more desirable assets in the transfer market.
