Ardon Jashari Pushes for AC Milan Move as Club Brugge Stand Firm on Price

Ardon Jashari has told Club Brugge he wants to join AC Milan. However, the Belgian side have already rejected two offers and are holding out for a deal closer to €40 million. This has created tension in transfer talks.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Jashari, a 22-year-old Swiss international midfielder, wants to move to Serie A with AC Milan. Milan have made two bids, the latest being €27 million plus €5 million in bonuses, but Brugge have declined. Brugge want close to €40 million and hope for a bidding war as Borussia Dortmund, Bayer Leverkusen, Manchester United, Manchester City, and PSG are interested.

Despite interest from other clubs, Jashari prefers Milan. He has submitted a transfer request to push the deal forward.

The previous report confirmed Milan’s raised bid of €27 million plus €5 million in add-ons and that Club Brugge refused anything under €40 million for Jashari.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

AC Milan seek to rebuild their midfield this summer. They are close to signing Samuele Ricci from Torino and Luka Modric. Milan finished eighth in Serie A last season and want to strengthen their squad for a new title challenge.

Jashari has been a standout player for Brugge, contributing in attack and defense. Brugge finished second in the Belgian Pro League and want to maximize profit from a prized asset.

This transfer saga is similar to Milan’s previous approach for Charles De Ketelaere, which involved negotiations with Brugge.

WHAT’S NEXT?

Negotiations will continue. Milan reportedly plans a new offer, but Brugge remains firm on the valuation. Jashari is determined to leave, but it remains uncertain if it will change Brugge’s stance.

Milan wants to complete the deal before preseason training starts, while Brugge needs a replacement if Jashari leaves. Milan’s next competitive match is expected to be in August, and Brugge also has little time before their season begins.
