Ardon Jashari Arrives in Milan to Complete Move from Club Brugge

Ardon Jashari is set to finish his move to AC Milan. This marks the end of a long summer transfer saga. The Swiss midfielder will join Milan after the club agreed on terms with Club Brugge. Jashari has not traveled with Club Brugge for their pre-season tour in England, as he prepares for this transfer (source).

JASHARI CLOSE TO COMPLETING AC MILAN TRANSFER

Milan and Club Brugge finally made a deal after weeks of talks and rejected offers. The deal is worth around €38 million, including bonuses, as Club Brugge is holding out for a deal closer to this amount (source). The payment terms were a big issue between the clubs.

Jashari, a lifelong Milan fan, wanted this move and turned down offers from other clubs, including Borussia Dortmund. He is about to have a medical exam and sign a five-year contract. The deal is reported to be worth €2.5 million per season, which could rise. Jashari’s determination to join Milan has been pivotal in moving the transfer forward (source).

THE SIGNIFICANCE FOR MILAN AND THE NEW SEASON

This transfer is a big success for Milan as they strengthen their midfield for the new Serie A season. Last year, Milan finished eighth in Serie A, failing to earn an European League spot. The immediate goal for this season is to get back into European football, and the team hopes that Jashari hopes them in achieving that goal.

Milan’s midfield struggled in the second half of the season. Jashari was a star player for Club Brugge last year, with 4 goals and 6 assists in 52 matches. He adds energy and technical skill to Milan’s lineup (source). Brugge finished second in the Belgian Pro League last year, and must now find a replacement for a key player ahead of their Champions League qualifiers.

WHAT NEXT FOR JASHARI AND MILAN?

Jashari will have his medical exam in Milan soon. Then he will sign his contract and be officially introduced. Milan’s next game is their Serie A opener against Cremonese at San Siro.

Milan aims to close the gap on Napoli and Inter at the top and secure their Champions League spot. Cremonese is abck into the Serie A after being promoted from Italy’s 2nd tier last season, making them underdogs for this match. Milan fans are excited to see how Jashari performs. They hope his arrival can help them compete for the title this season.
