There can be no denying that Jashari struggled in his first season at Milan. Firsts are always tough, but for a foreign player arriving at the club he loves and almost immediately being sidelined for months, it’s tough.
Atalanta targetting Jashari despite Milan’s stance
It has already been reported that Atalanta think they could take advantage of Jashari’s first season at San Siro. He struggled to get going after his injury and La Dea would be waiting at the door if he was to leave.
However, it seems they may also start knocking. Speaking in an editorial for TMW, Niccolo Ceccarini looked at the interest in Jashari, via Milan News.
“Atalanta is undoubtedly the most active club at the moment. The Nerazzurri sold Ederson for €45 million plus bonuses to United. With Palestra’s departure, they will reach a total of €100 million in revenue. The goal in midfield is to complete the squad with at least three players.
“There is also another profile that the club really likes. It is that of Jashari, who arrived at Milan from Club Brugge last year for almost €40 million. The injury at the start of the season (a fractured fibula) certainly limited his performances, but his quality is beyond discussion.
“The discussion will only be able to get underway once the Rossoneri have finalised their management team.”
It is worth noting that Matteo Moretto commented on Jashari’s future this morning, stating, “Amorim sees him as an integral of the team. As does the club, given how much was invested in him last summer.”
So, it seems difficult to see him heading to Bergamo this summer…
