Albanians abroad

With memories of the golden years (80's) of the albanian football still fresh on her mind, Albania is now attempting to recreate its strong football legacy. As young players start making their names abroad, the future is looking bright for Albanian football!

Another Albanian leaguer moving abroad is Juljan Shehu(23). He's going to a random Polish club.

He played many games for the u21 but I never noticed him. His youtube highlights do look impressive tbh. Decent size, comfortable on the ball and physical, not the fastest though.

Of course these youbube highlight are deceiving because they only show the best moments but you can tell that even a player like that is way superior to someone like Ramadani.

I know because he is still occupying the foreigners spot at Lazio. If he had the Italian passport then he would free that spot.
Hysaj moved to Italy when he was 14. No way he was eligible to play for or was there any indication ever that Italy wanted him. Some people will believe anything lol
Hysaj made his Albania debut at 19, at the time he was one of the most highly rated fb's in Europe, let alone Italy. At that time it's very possible he was wanted by either the Italian U19 or U21 teams, which was brought to light when we faced Italy in the 2018 WC qualifiers. Regarding eligibility, Italy would have def given him a passport as he had been in the country at least 5 years, which even FIFA rules allow. Comeon man Italy has been calling up all sorts of trash for the past decade, hence missing on 2 world cups, not that hard to believe they didn't have room for Hysaj too…
As Simboli said Italy doesn't just hand out passports unless you have some sort of blood/marital connection to the country. The non-Italians that get called are usually those who have parents or grandparents of Italian descent. Jorginho was able to get Italian citizenship because of his paternal great-grandfather who was Italian.

West Ham apparently want Broja. 30m , would be a great move IMO. PL and European football, would get a lot of mins and would be great for him to stay at home.

I would actually would like him to go to Atalanta or Serie A. There’s too many games in a season and it’s way to physical for Broja at this point. I also think Serie A teams have a bit more patient while English teams have very little patience with all the money they have.

From a gameplay standpoint, moving to Serie A would be a bad move.

Only thing wrong with staying in EPL is that there might be too many distractions for Broja. West Ham is big club though, and as a fan, it would be great to see him playing there.

Moving to Roma worked out great for Tammy. Also young English player who moved to Dortmund did very well.

Wasn't Salah a loan from Chelsea to Roma?

Tuchel wants to watch Broja closely during this summer pre-season trainings before deciding if they wanna keep him at Chelsea, loan or sell him definitely.
