Jashari left out of Club Brugge squad as Milan wait for 38m response | OneFootball

Ardon Jashari is one step closer to joining Milan after he was left out of the Club Brugge squad for their first official match of the season.

The midfielder had returned to training with his teammates after skipping the traditional photograph session and coach Nicky Hayen had hinted the situation would be “clear soon.”

It is therefore seen as something of a sign that Jashari is not even named in the squad for their opening match of the campaign, which is tomorrow against KRC Genk.

Milan have technically not so much increased their offer as changed the format of it, so the total fee is still €38m, but the fixed part has climbed to €35m, with the other add-ons also quite easy to activate.

It is hoped this will be sufficient, especially as Jashari has his heart set on the Rossoneri, to the extent that transfer pundit Fabrizio Romano reports the player turned down two different Premier League offers this week alone.
