Milan change format of Jashari offer with 35m guaranteed
Milan are preparing a new and improved offer to Club Brugge for Ardon Jashari, increasing the fixed fee to €35m and lowering the performance-related bonuses. La Gazzetta dello Sport point out this is still roughly the same overall figure for the investment, but the structure of it will change. It means that when CEO Giorgio Furlani told the Belgian directors that the final offer was going to be €32.5m plus bonuses, it was not entirely inaccurate. Milan closer to Jashari agreement BERGAMO, ITALY – FEBRUARY 18: Ardon Jashari of Club Brugge KV inspects the pitch prior to the UEFA Champions League 2024/25 League Knockout Play-off second leg match between Atalanta BC and Club Brugge KV at Gewiss Stadium on February 18, 2025 in Bergamo, Italy. (Photo by) It will therefore be shifted to €35m guaranteed, plus a smaller figure for the add-ons tied to performance of both the player and the team during his time at San Siro. By changing the structure of the offer, if not the total figure, it could wield a different result for Milan. Club Brugge had made it clear they were only prepared to let Jashari go if they received €35m upfront. With this shift, Milan are confident they can get the deal over the line and give Max Allegri his completely revamped midfield with Samuele Ricci, Jashari and Luka Modric.
