Marash Kumbulla’s future is still up in the air.

Having returned from his loan spell at Espanyol, the Albanian defender has never been a key part of Gian Piero Gasperini’s plans.

Furthermore, the imminent arrival of Jan Ziolkowski would further deprive him of his playing time.

For this reason, Frederic Massara has been working for weeks to find him a new home.

Several teams are interested in Kumbulla, especially Cagliari and other La Liga clubs.

Espanyol would also be happy to bring him back to Spain, and it’s the player’s preferred destination.

As reported by Sport, the 2000-born defender is prioritizing the club where he played last season.
