Club Brugge warn Milan about ‘clear’ Jashari situation | OneFootball

Club Brugge coach Nicky Hayen reveals Milan are not the only interested club in Ardon Jashari, while captain Hans Vanaken insists the Rossoneri must match the midfielder’s €40m price tag.

Milan remain in talks with Club Brugge for their midfield star Jashari after reaching an agreement on personal terms with the 22-year-old.

However, the Serie A giants haven’t yet shaken hands with his club, which have rejected every offer the Rossoneri have sent so far.

“The situation is very clear. He should return to training on Monday. In football, certain things can be very complicated. This is indeed a complex situation. I feel trust in the club to handle it properly. We’ll see how it turns out,” Club Brugge boss Hayen said on Sunday after a 2-1 win over Union Saint-Gilloise in the Belgian Supercup Final.

Not only Milan interested in Jashari, warns Club Brugge

Jashari did not participate in the game and had even snubbed the team photo a few days before the match.

“I won’t reveal what the club management tells me, but I know what they expect from this sale. It’s up to them to speak; everything is clear. We’ll see how long this situation lasts. I fully support the club,” the Brugge coach continued via Gianluca Di Marzio.

“Our group is like a family. Maybe not everyone agrees with what’s happening but everyone understands how football works and knows his quality. We just need to stay calm. It’s impossible to predict what will happen in the coming days, especially because Milan isn’t the only interested club.”

West Ham and Nottingham Forest have reportedly sent offers for Jashari, but the Swiss midfielder only wants to join Milan this summer, as reported by Fabrizio Romano.

Club Brugge demand 40m for Jashari

Club Brugge captain Vanaken added: “We have no choice but to handle it this way. We know Ardon is in talks with Milan and currently doesn’t feel ready to play for us. Those who stepped in have demonstrated that they possess the qualities to replace him. If he no longer wants to play for Brugge, we’ll deal with it. Life goes on.”

Jashari is expected to return to Club Brugge training today while talks between the Rossoneri and the Belgian side continue.

“If he returns to the team, we’ll treat him like a Club Brugge player. He’d be an added value. Unfortunately, it’s not up to us. It depends on Ardon, the club and Milan. We focus on the pitch,” said Vanaken.

“If going to Milan is the peak of his career, we accept it, but only at the right price. I admit that perhaps I would have done the same thing at his age, but the club must be satisfied financially. The fact that there is no release clause makes everything more difficult. Now it’s up to Milan. If they pay the €40m the club is asking, Jashari will become a Milan player.”
