AC Milan ready to reluanch pursuit of Ardon Jashari | OneFootball

AC Milan are planning to resume talks with Club Brugge to sign midfielder Ardon Jashari.

Negotiations have hit a standstill after Brugge rejected Milan’s offer worth €35 million plus add-ons.

The Belgian outfit insist that Ashari will not leave the club unless their €40m valuation is met.

However, Milan have been given hope due to the Swiss international’s efforts to force a move.

Jashari has snubbed offers from West Ham United and Wolverhampton Wanderers in favour of a move to the San Siro.

A verbal agreement on a five-year deal worth around €2.4 million per season is already in place.

Milan have signed Luka Modric and Samuele Ricci this summer, but want more midfield reinforcements.

Jashari is viewed as a long-term investment after a stellar breakout campaign last season.

The 22-year-old bagged four goals and six assists in 52 appearances in all competitions and was named the Belgian Pro Player of the Season.

He also performed consistently in the Champions League, and produced a man-of-the-match display against Atalanta in the knockout play-off round.

Jashari can operate as a deep-lying playmaker or a box-to-box midfielder. He has an excellent passing range, enabling him to control the tempo of the game and breach opposition defences.

His athletic ability and excellent reading of the game allow him to anticipate danger quickly and make crucial tackles and interceptions.

Along with Ricci, Jashari has all the qualities to dominate Milan’s midfield for the foreseeable future.
