The signing of Ardon Jashari has finally been confirmed and AC Milan have got their man. Today, the structure of the deal has been looked into a little more.
There has been a lot said about Jashari and the move this summer. In fact, it has been two months of reports and rumours about situations. Now, though, it does not matter. Milan have got the target which they started the summer wanting.

Of course, there are elements of the deal that have been frustrating. However, the Rossoneri have not moved too much with their last bid from what was their ‘final offer’.
Bonuses broken down
So, the Diavolo will pay a ‘maximum’ of €37 million for the Swiss midfielder, with a base fee of €34m. There have been a lot of different suggestions about the price in the past few weeks, so it is understandable if you have lost track of the spending.
Gazzetta dello Sport, today, have broken things down of how the deal is structured. It starts with the first bonus, worth €1m. This will be triggered for a Champions League qualification in the first five years of Jashari’s time at the club, an easily unlockable part and pretty much a guarantee.
Then, there is another €1m if Milan win the Scudetto in the same period with Jashari. The final €1m will be unlocked if the club were to reach the semi-finals of the Champions League.
It is worth noting that the clauses cannot be triggered more than once, meaning Brugge will not get €15m if the Rossoneri achieve each bonus every year for the next five years.
So, where is 39M€ coming from?
I guess that means that Brugge holding out for a new Belgium league record fee failed since his transfer would come in a little bit short of what Milan paid (37.5m) for CDK
This is incorrect, Milan paid 32M for him with 3M in bonuses, and there was a sell-on percentage to Brugge as well. In effect, Milan has paid more for Jashari. There isn’t at least a sell-on percentage owed to Brugge.
A bit of a fun fact, Jashari is the highest Milan has paid for a player in the last 4-5 years. The second highest is CDK.
Transfermarkt says 37.5 million.
That’s a bit weird because in this article from transfermarkt, they also say CDK was 32M€+3
It says 36m and Fabrizio said it’s 39m with bonuses, so my guess would be 36m + 3m in bonuses based on this article.
Well play Milan
no 40M for Brugge… bohooo…
Forza Anderlecht!
Tare is a beast
You can say that again 👍
