context_page_description: Besar Musolli is a Kosovo Albanian professional footballer who plays as a defensive midfielder for Albanian club Kukësi and the Kosovo national team.
context_section_description: On 1 July 2012, Musolli completed a transfer to Albanian Superliga side Kukësi. He made his debut later on 25 August in the club's first ever top flight match against Luftëtari Gjirokastër which ended in a goalless draw.
  On 22 May 2016, Musolli played in his second Albanian Cup final match against Laçi and scored the last penalty in the subsequent shoot-out win which secured Kukësi's first ever Albanian Cup trophy.
  On 4 August 2016, he agreed a contract extension, signing until June 2017. On 3 January 2018, following the retirement of veteran Rrahman Hallaçi, Musolli was named vice-captain. He made his 150th Albanian Superliga appearance later on 14 March in the 2–1 away loss to Luftëtari Gjirokastër in the league matchday 25. Five days later, Musolli scored his first-ever league goal for the club in his 200th appearance in all competitions, netting a tap-in in a 2–0 home win over Vllaznia Shkodër. In the post-match interview, when asked about this achievement, Musolli stated: I want to be Francesco Totti of Kukësi.
  On 1 August 2018, Musolli played in the 3–0 loss to Qarabağ in the second leg of 2018–19 UEFA Champions League second qualifying round. By doing so, he reached 215 appearances for the club, equaling Rrahman Hallaçi as the player with most appearances for the club. He broke the record in the next match against Torpedo Kutaisi in the first leg of 2018–19 UEFA Europa League third qualifying round.
  Musolli suffered a major injury on 15 September during the league match against Teuta Durrës and was replaced at half time. Following the examination, it was confirmed that Musolli has whacked the ligament of his right knee and will remain sidelined for the next six months.
