Report Jashari ready to demand Milan transfer in Brugge crisis meeting
The player has made it very clear he wants to join the Rossoneri, a team he has supported since visiting San Siro as a child to watch them in action.
He was left out of the squad for today's opening game of the season, but was placed into their European list.
Jashari ready to break with Club Brugge
BIRMINGHAM, ENGLAND – MARCH 12: Ardon Jashari of Club Brugge KV warms up prior to the UEFA Champions League 2024/25 Round of 16 Second Leg match between Aston Villa FC and Club Brugge KV at Villa Park on March 12, 2025 in Birmingham, England. (Photo by)
According to Sky Sport Italia, Jashari has decided to take matters into his own hands and will confront Club Brugge chiefs in a crisis meeting over the weekend.
He intends to demand a sale to Milan, who believe their offer worth €33.5m plus add-ons was entirely sufficient, especially as his agents maintain Brugge promised to sell if someone came in with a bid of €32.5m.
Crucially, the Switzerland international will also warn that he has no intention of accepting any other club, even if Chelsea, Bayer Leverkusen and Saudi side Neom are ready to offer more money.

Liverpool confirm new arrival
Liverpool have confirmed an exciting new arrival at the club from Manchester United. In the last decade or so, there's been a drastic change in fortunes between the two clubs. Manchester United were once regarded as England's greatest ever club side. 🚨2025/26 LFC x adidas range🚨 LFC x adidas Shop the home range today! LFC x adidas Shop the goalkeeper range today LFC x adidas Shop the new adidas range today! In the Sir Alex Ferguson era, it seemed like Liverpool had been left in the shadows. However, Ferguson left the Red Devils behind, and shortly after Jurgen Klopp arrived at Anfield to do what Ferguson had done to the Reds - knock United off their perch. In the subsequent decade, Liverpool have now equalled United's record 20 titles, and have a good chance of getting another one next season. Meanwhile, United were flirting with relegation last season and still look very far away from securing a league title again for the first time in over 10 years. It's now Liverpool who sit at the pinnacle of English football, just as it's always ought to be. 🔴 Shop the LFC 2025/26 adidas away range from 9am TODAY Now moves between United and Liverpool are still rare. Even at academy level, we barely see players and coaches making the move from one club to another. More recently, Ethan Ennis was a rare exception after he moved from Liverpool to United in a move that only time will tell whether it was the right one. Now, it's Liverpool who have made a move for a United man. The Reds confirmed the appointment of Simon Wiles, who had been working at United for close to a year. Wiles now becomes Liverpool's U18 head coach, replacing the the now departed Marc Bridge-Wilkinson. A renowned young coach, Wiles had been working at United's academy at U16 level prior to this move. He'd also been involved at first team level as a coach at Salford City, and therefore has experience in senior football as well. It's interesting to note that Wiles will have worked with Will Wright, who has joined the Reds from Salford this summer and who is very highly regarded having made his debut as a 16-year-old for Salford's first team in the FA Cup last season. It remains to be seen whether Wiles will work with Wright. The expectation is more that Wright will be with the U21s, considering he already has experience at senior level, but like Rio Ngumoha last season, there may be a few times when Wright will be needed at U18 level. Nonetheless, back to Wiles, this is an exciting and refreshing appointment. Liverpool have taken their time to make sure they get the right man in for the job, and it's going to be exciting to see how Wiles works with the likes of Joshua Abe, Erik Farkas, Josh Sonni-Lambie and many other young talented players in the U16 and U18 age-groups, who are likely to be playing for the U18s this season.

American Gretchen Walsh wins 50-meter butterfly, second world championship gold
Gretchen Walsh won the 50-meter butterfly Saturday at the swimming world championships, kicking off a day of American medal potential with her second gold of the event. Walsh finished in 24.83 seconds in the one-pool-length sprint, beating Australia's Alexandria Perkins (25.31) and Belgium's Roos Vanotterdijk (25.43) to start one of the most anticipated days of the swimming program at these World Aquatics Championships. Advertisement Walsh — a short-course pool (25-yard) star who is proving quite adept at long-course pools too — also won the 100-meter butterfly event earlier this week. The 50-meter butterfly is among the events that will make their Olympic debut in Los Angeles, and that's good news for Walsh. She has the eight fastest times in the event this year. Five-time Olympic gold medalist Kaylee McKeown of Australia continued her reign as the sport's dominant backstroker, once again beating American Regan Smith in a head-to-head showdown. McKeown took gold in the 200-meter event, pulling away from Smith in the final 50 meters, just as she did in the 100-meter event earlier in the week. McKeown won in 2:03.33, a world-championship record time. Smith finished in 2:04.29 for silver. American teammate Claire Curzan took bronze in 2:06.04. 'I was really jazzed with the time,' Smith, who also took silver in the 100-meter backstroke, said in an interview on Peacock after the race. 'I was almost exactly a second off my best time, so … it was a really great swim for me.' In the men's 50-meter freestyle, Olympic champion Australian Cameron McEvoy outsprinted everyone to gold in 21.14 seconds. Great Britain's Ben Proud won silver in 21.26, and American Jack Alexy earned bronze in 21.46. Three finals are still to come Saturday, starting with the men's 100-meter butterfly. Switzerland's Noe Ponti was the top qualifier out of the semis. Olympic silver medalist Josh Liendo and bronze medalist Ilya Kharun, both from Canada, are medal contenders here as well. Later, we'll see the women's 800-meter freestyle final, the much-hyped showdown between Katie Ledecky and Summer McIntosh. Ledecky qualified first out of the heats, McIntosh third, with Australia's Lani Pallister in second. Ledecky, the American who is the most decorated women's swimmer in history, will try to continue her dominance in the event against the rising Canadian star. Ledecky has won the 800 all 10 times she has contested it on the Olympic or world championship stage and reset her own world record in June. McIntosh beat Ledecky in the 400-meter earlier this week, is 3-for-3 in her races in Singapore, and in May posted the third-best time ever in the event. Advertisement The final medal event Saturday is the mixed 4×100-meter freestyle relay, where the Americans were the top qualifiers out of the preliminary heats. Three semifinals are also scheduled — the 50-meter events in the women's breaststroke, women's freestyle and men's backstroke. Saturday night Eastern time (Sunday morning in Singapore) is the final session of preliminary heats, including the men's and women's 400-meter individual medleys. Those will feature French star Léon Marchand and McIntosh, who will be in line for history if she beats Ledecky. Only American legend Michael Phelps has won five individual gold medals at a single world championships, a mark McIntosh would equal with wins in the 800 freestyle and the 400 IM. The world championship program concludes Sunday with eight finals. (Photo of Gretchen Walsh: Oli Scarff / AFP via Getty Images)
