On 1 July 2012, Musolli completed a transfer to Kategoria Superiore 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.[1]

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.[9] By doing so, he reached 215 appearances for the club, equaling Rrahman Hallaçi as the player with most appearances for the club.[10] He broke the record in the next match against Torpedo Kutaisi in the first leg of 2018–19 UEFA Europa League third qualifying round.[11]
