Club Brugge have reportedly contacted Premier League teams that have shown an interest in Ardon Jashari, attempting to spark an auction involving AC Milan.
When it seemed like Jashari was getting closer to the Rossoneri, following the improved offer for the midfielder, it has almost gone in the opposite direction. While not officially, Club Brugge have more or less rejected the offer for their star, as per Gazzetta dello Sport.
Considering that the new offer is worth €38m with bonuses, and €33.5m without, it’s quite remarkable that Milan aren’t really close to an agreement. Given how this saga has been so far, things could still change but there isn’t exactly loads of optimism.
Brugge hoping for an auction
According to the pink newspaper, when they learned of Milan’s improved offer, Club Brugge immediately ‘contacted interested Premier League clubs’ to set up an auction. The problem is that Jashari only wants a move to San Siro, having rejected the Premier League idea before.
Nevertheless, the Belgian side will do their best to squeeze as much as possible out of the departure of their star. It just remains to be seen if Milan will play the game, i.e. potentially getting involved in an auction, or if they will rescind their offer and move on to other targets.
The decision to spark an auction will likely not go down well with the player, who’s already suffering from ‘low morale’ as his dream move could collapse after so many weeks of negotiating.
