Bonus structure of Jashari's €37m Milan move revealed
Milan have officially announced the signing of Switzerland international Ardon Jashari on a permanent deal from Club Brugge at a total cost of €37m, but how much of that fee is guaranteed and how does the bonus structure work? Jashari became the most expensive signing of the Serie A transfer window with his €37m arrival in San Siro on Wednesday. He also became the most expensive central midfield signing in Rossoneri history. Of the €37m deal that Milan agreed with Club Brugge, it is understood that €34m will be guaranteed and that the extra €3m are made up of a series of sporting-related bonuses. How much Milan have to pay Club Brugge in bonuses for Jashari Official: Ardon Jashari joins AC Milan in a permanent deal from Club Brugge (picture via According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, there are three different clauses that each trigger a bonus of €1m for Club Brugge. The first is considered easily achievable. Club Brugge will receive an extra €1m if Milan qualify for the Champions League in any of the five years on Jashari's contract. Brugge will be entitled to a further €1m in the event that Milan reach the semi-final of the Champions League over that same period. Lastly, the final €1m will reportedly be paid in the event that Milan win the Scudetto during Jashari's time in San Siro. Only if all three are achieved will Club Brugge receive the full €37m fee.

Can Jashari help Milan towards Champions League success under Allegri?
Milan are closing in on a deal to bring Ardon Jashari to San Siro in a permanent deal from Club Brugge, but how will he affect the Rossoneri line-up, and what does his signing mean for the team's Champions League hopes? According to recent reports in Italy, Milan have an agreement in principle to sign Jashari from Club Brugge in a permanent deal worth €34m plus up to €3m in bonuses. If the deal does go through, then Jashari will likely become Milan's fifth new addition of the summer transfer window, following the previous arrivals of Luka Modric, Samuele Ricci, Pervis Estupinan and Pietro Terracciano. The Rossoneri, meanwhile, are also closing in on a deal for right-back Zachary Athekame from Young Boys and remain interested in a deal for Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic. How could Milan line-up with Jashari? BRUSSELS, BELGIUM – MAY 04: Ardon Jashari #30 of Club Brugge KV dribbles the ball in the first half of the Croky Cup Final between Club Brugge KV and RSC Anderlecht at King Baudouin Stadium on May 04, 2025 in Brussels, Belgium. (Photo by Alex Bierens) The addition of Jashari means that Massimiliano Allegri will have brought in an entire new midfield this summer, along with Italy international Ricci and former Ballon d'Or winner Modric. They add to a department that already included Youssouf Fofana, Yunus Musah, Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Warren Bondo. New head coach Allegri has used a back-three system in all three of his pre-season friendlies to date: a 5-4-1 for the 1-0 loss against Arsenal in Singapore, and a 3-5-2 for victories over Liverpool and Perth Glory. Both, however, still used a three-man midfield, like Sergio Conceicao and Paulo Fonseca did for the most part last season as well. With Jashari likely to be added to the Rossoneri roster, he could theoretically line up in a midfield department with Ricci and one of the aforementioned Modric, Fofana, Musah or Loftus-Cheek, whether that be in a 5-4-1, a 3-5-2, a 4-3-3 or a 4-2-3-1.

While waiting for the return of Champions League action, supporters can check out the latest offerings from Hotwin. However, much like last season's Scudetto winners, Napoli, a lack of European commitments will help Milan focus primarily on the league, and ideally a return to the Champions League for 2026-27. New signing Modric, however, insists that Milan cannot be satisfied with Champions League qualification alone: 'We remember Milan as one of the best teams in the world. We mustn't be content just with a mediocre season or qualifying for the Champions League,' the 39-year-old said during his introductory press conference. 'That is my vision of Milan, but we must also be humble, work hard to get the team back to the highest level. I am very competitive and I want to bring this to the team.' 'The minimum objective is to qualify for the Champions League, but Milan must also fight to win trophies. It is my objective, and must be for anyone who works at Milan.' With Jashari soon to come on board, Milan will have genuine options in depth in midfield, which could be key for a return to Europe's premier competition next season.

Inter Milan Sporting Director Admits ‘My Son Reproached Me When AC Milan Signed Jashari'
Inter Milan Sporting Director Piero Ausilio admits that it annoyed his son when AC Milan signed Ardon Jashari ahead of the Nerazzurri. The Inter executive joked about his son Niccolo's reaction in an interview with the Gazzetta dello Sport, via FCInterNews. AC Milan signed midfielder Ardon Jashari this summer. The 23-year-old Swiss international was one of the Rossoneri's most high profile signings of the summer. He arrived after what proved to be a very lengthy transfer saga. Jashari arrives at Milan with significant expectations and a hefty fee. But Milan are not the only team to have noticed the 23-year-old when he was at Club Brugge. And in fact, he was even on some clubs' radars before he joined the Belgian club. As Inter Sporting Director Piero Ausilio reveals, meanwhile, it's not just clubs that have been watching Jashari. Inter Sporting Director Ausilio: 'My Son Reproached Me When Milan Signed Jashari' 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) Inter Milan Sporting Director Piero Ausilio says that his son Niccolo is a big admirer of Jashari's. 'He's passionate,' said the Nerazzurri executive. 'He watches thousands of matches, he follows the players.' 'When Jashari had went to Milan, he reproached me!' Ausilio said. 'He told me: 'I advised you to sign him already when he was at Luzern! You let him slip through your fingers.' 'It's true, but I can't sign every good player,' the Inter Sporting DIrector added.
