All summer, AC Milan have been trying to sign Ardon Jashari. However, it has proved to be a very difficult task, and so far, there has been no movement.
You do not spend all summer chasing one player unless they have got your complete attention. For Milan, it is clear Jashari does. It is all the talk of everyone; Igli Tare’s words this weekend only further proved that.
Milan want another base, and the Swissman offers that for now and the future. However, there are three key reasons why the midfielder is so sought after, as Gazzetta dello Sport states.
Firstly, it is his profile. RedBird, especially, views him as a near-perfect candidate. A 22-year-old midfielder on the rise, with signs that he will only continue to grow in the next few years. So, he fits what the ownership wants.
Furthermore, his salary demands, partnered with his talent and high sell-on value, make him a perfect candidate to fit the RedBird model. Even if he will cost above the €20 million cap set by the club, internally.
On the pitch, he is deemed to be a perfect piece to add to the midfield’s balance. A metronome for the team, if you will, and with Luka Modric, he ‘can be crucial’ for the Rossoneri. After all, he can be the heart of the team.
Finally, it is his personality, and a strong one at that. He has already embraced the Diavolo, who he has dreamt of for years. Even now, as an adult, he only dreams of the San Siro, something which Milan needs.
