GdS: Jashari to meet Club Brugge again as Milan decide against new bid

Negotiations between AC Milan and Club Brugge for Ardon Jashari have been ongoing for almost two months, with no breakthrough.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport (seen below), in the next few hours Jashari another meeting with the Brugge management, and once again he will reiterate a rather simple point: he wants to leave the club play for Milan.

The Belgian club have not granted his wish so far, and instead continue to put up a defensive wall. Will this be the right moment?

No new bid

Milan remain convinced they’ve done their best and are currently not planning any further new bids. The €33.5m fixed fee plus €4.5m in bonuses – barring any sensational surprises – will therefore not be raised any further.

A few weeks ago, this offer would likely have been enough to secure Club Brugge’s approval, but not today, as the Belgians have since received offers from England and Saudi Arabia worth over €40m which has hardened their stance.

Jashari, though, continues to focus solely on playing for Milan and will reiterate this once again to his leadership, hoping that this time he will finally be listened to. Meanwhile, the Swiss has been included in the UEFA squad for the third qualifying round of the Champions League.

He could theoretically make his season debut for Club Brugge on Wednesday in Salzburg (he has so far missed the Belgian Super Cup and the first two league games), but it seems unlikely while there is such a stand-off.
