In the beginning of the 2004–05 season, Turkish champion Fenerbahçe tried Inler and Onder Cengel in the pre-season training camp program in Germany and signed a four-year contract with both of them. However, then coach Christoph Daum declared that both players were not good enough to play for Fenerbahçe. Inler returned to Switzerland and played for FC Aarau. On 20 March 2005, Inler made his Swiss Super League debut in the FC Aarau 2-3 home defeat against Grasshoppers. In January 2006, he was signed by FC Zürich and was part of the 2005–06 and 2006–07 Swiss Championship winning team. At the end of the 2006–07 season, the hardman midfielder agreed to a transfer to Serie A side Udinese despite newly instated Hertha Berlin coach Lucien Favre's interest in the player. Inler has, in the absence of players like Christian Obodo and Giampiero Pinzi, established himself in Udinese's first team.
Inler is a member of the Swiss national team. On 2 September 2006, he made his international debut in a friendly against Venezuela in Basel.[2]
