The Ardon Jashari saga has taken another twist this morning, as Club Brugge have broken their silence after the latest offer.
Numerous sources reported on Monday that there should be a response from Club Brugge to the Milan’s latest offer for Jashari, one totalling €38m. It was expected by the end of Tuesday but did not come, leading to a bit of tension within the walls of Casa Milan.
In fact, Matteo Moretto and Fabrizio Romano strongly hinted that the Rossoneri directors are irritated by being made to wait 10 days for a response. What has come out this morning will not calm them down one bit.
Brugge directors speak
Brugge continue to put up a wall for Ardon Jashari despite his firm desire to join Milan. From Belgium, the club’s CEO, Bob Madou, also spoke to Het Laatste Nieuws and Het Nieuwsblad, clarifying the club’s position.
“We sat down to talk with AC Milan out of courtesy . And without talking about money (smiling). Everyone knows what Ardon did, but for us this isn’t the end of a cycle,” he said (via MilanNews).
“I’m not saying we won’t make exceptions, but at the moment there’s no offer on the table that makes me think we should. We’re assuming he’ll stay.”
The translation of the Club Brugge director’s words is quite clear: a higher offer is needed if Milan really want to sign Jashari. Their director of Football Dévy Rigaux then spoke too.
“If the moment comes when a player is truly at the end of his time, and a top club makes a suitable offer, then the transfer can happen. Maxim De Cuyper is a good example. If Jashari stays here for another year, it won’t be just Milan, but several other important clubs that will come forward.”
The Belgian club are once again proving to be a very difficult client to negotiate with, just as they were three summers ago during the negotiations for Charles De Ketelaere.
