Hasani made his 100th Albanian Superliga appearance on 5 March 2017 in the 1–1 draw at Flamurtari Vlorë where he played for 84 minutes. Later that month, Hasani announced his departure from the club. He terminated the contract after falling out with Kukësi management. Kukësi finished 2016–17 season by winning their first ever championship.
= Return to Vllaznia Shkodër
=On 29 July 2017, after weeks of negotiations, Hasani officially returned to his boyhood club by signing a two-year contract. He was handed squad number 10, and made his return debut on 10 September against newbie Lushnja, scoring a tap-in in an eventual 2–0 away win. Hasani left a struggling Vllaznia in December 2017 after receiving an offer from Sepahan.

On 19 July 2019, during the summer training camp in Ohër, North Macedonia, Hasani was involved in a confrontation with his new teammate Agustín Torassa; after some strong language, the players were separated by the rest of the squad after the conflict started to go physical. The midfielder left the training ground and immediately asked for a transfer request. The following day, Hasani was suspended by Tirana.
Hasani had an overall good campaign during the 2019–20 Albanian Superliga season, scoring 7 goals in 25 appearances, as Tirana won the championship title for the 25th time in their 100th anniversary. Despite being an undisputed starter in the first part of the season, he lost his place in the second part of the season, following an injury and the appointment of Ndubuisi Egbo, who did not saw Hasani as a starter, instead preferring Elton Calé and Agustín Torassa. On 9 August, with his contract expired, Hasani announced his departure from the club after two seasons.
