Luftëtari

Alinani made his league debut for the club on 28 August 2019, coming on as a 78th-minute substitute for Aldrit Oshafi in a 1–0 home defeat to Partizani Tirana.[2]

Bylis

In October 2020, Alinani joined Bylis on a free transfer, arriving alongside Marçelino Preka.[3] He made his league debut for the club near the end of the season, coming on as a 79th-minute substitute for Lorran in a 4–2 defeat to Partizani Tirana on 26 May 2021.[4] However, that would be his only competitive first-team appearance of the season, and he would eventually be loaned out in February 2022.

Butrinti (loan)

Alinani was loaned to Butrinti in February 2022, reuniting with his brother Fabjo.[5] He made his league debut for the club later that month in a 1–0 defeat to Pogradeci.[6]
