Ardon Jashari remains a top target for AC Milan, who have raised their bid to €35m, but now they will have to wait as Club Brugge are holding out for more.
Jashari has been heavily linked with Milan in the last week or so, with talks between the Rossoneri and Club Brugge intensifying. After an initial bid that was fully rejected, Igli Tare has now put €35m on the table between the fixed base and bonuses.
As reported by Daniele Longo of Calciomercato.com, the bonuses are easy to achieve and Milan are hoping that this will be enough to convince the Belgian side. For now, no response has arrived as the latter are in no hurry to complete a sale.
Gazzetta dello Sport adds (see photo below) that Jashari is expected to join his Club Brugge teammates for pre-season on Monday, seeing as a move isn’t imminent right now. Milan know that this can be seen as a negotiation trick by the Belgian side and won’t get caught up in any of their games.
In other words, the current bid – which is €30m fixed plus bonuses per the pink newspaper – won’t be improved any time soon. Milan already have the ‘yes’ of the player and as long as that pact remains strong, they are convinced that Club Brugge will eventually accept the bid.
While Jashari clearly has a lot of potential, attracting interest from several big clubs, Milan believe that a €35m bid is already very high and worthy of the player’s qualities. Club Brugge are welcome to ask for more, but the Rossoneri have now put their foot down.
