Ardon Jashari gave another sign that he is thinking about a future at AC Milan by not being part of the official Club Brugge photoshoot.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Jashari didn’t take part in the team photo – a classic early-season event – with the Belgian club. The others posed with smiles but the midfield did not and the message is clear.

He wants to move to Milan as soon as possible, if possible by Saturday, when Milan will fly to the Far East for their preseason tour. It will be very difficult to see that happen, but Jashari is helping Milan in negotiations.
No photo for Jashari
In agreement with Club Brugge, he didn’t travel with the team to a mini-retreat in London and, upon his return, trained alone. He hasn’t been with the team for a single session this week, and therefore, he’s not currently part of the team preparing for the season.
From Club Brugge’s perspective, nothing irreparable. From Milan’s perspective, it offers a lot of hope. Milan have made two offers for Jashari and the latest is €32.5m plus bonuses, which – if the bonuses materialise – would represent a record sale from the Belgian league.
It is roughly the same price as the offer Maldini and Massara used to snatch Charles De Ketelaere from Club Brugge three years ago. Since then, it’s been stalemate in which Brugge have not responded. Milan have not increased their offer, instead convinced they have reached a maximum.
HLN write: “A well-informed source close to AC Milan tells us that the club has no intention of raising the final offer of €32.5m plus bonuses. Never say never, especially not in a summer transfer window, but it seems the Rossoneri will pursue other options.
Jashari has been a top target for Milan since June. They submitted several (each time increased) offers to Club Brugge, though nothing has happened in the past ten days. Milan have concluded that raising their bid is no longer an option, so Brugge shouldn’t expect a new bid.
No matter how much Brugge wants to keep Jashari, they have not yet managed to convince the Swiss. With Milan (temporarily) withdrawing, they may have to turn their attention back to the Bundesliga. The German league was originally Jashari’s preferred option, until Milan came calling.
23 august 2028:
Jashari sends yet another hint that a deal with Milan is getting closer by missing a breakfast with the team.
Milan is positive than a deal is gonna be reached soon.
hilarious!
31st August 2025: Milan sends jet to wait for Jashari. he gets and anonymous phone call that night and boards the jet to Germany instead!
All too familiar eh?
I think the boy is worth extra 2 mil just get this deal done everyday he spends as non milan player hurts only us. Either get this deal done or walk away and get someone else.
He has been excluded from the main squad’s activity for a reason. If they are certain he is staying, they will definitely have him participate in all activities. Him staying but not training with the first will only hurt Club Brugge’s performance and his value. He is on his way out so Club Brugge does not care if he gains some weight and becomes out of sync tactically. We need 2 fullbacks and a CF, and also need to offload 7-8 players. Those tasks are way more important now.
They expect him to go, for sure, but they probably want him to go to England for a few extra pennies. Or they’re waiting until they have their replacement sorted. If that replacement is coming from Inter though, they’re probably not in a hurry to unlock it for us!
Wonder what the director / CEO has to say now lol.
I don’t understand Brugge club. They are so pathologically greedy. A year ago you got this player for 6 million. Now you have a offer for him 35 millions with bonuses. The boy wants to leave and you block him stubbornly. This situation never ever goes well for the club and the player . If a player really wants to leave… just let him go if you have a very good offer. A depressed player never will play with joy for you especially if you block him to join his dream club. Brugge do this for what ? For 2 millions ? What a disgusting stubborn pathologically greedy ownership there…they act maliciously.
Mark my words – he’ll behave the same way when leaving Milan – in case he turns out to be another Tonaly/Reijnders and bids start coming. If I remember correctly, Kessie did similar when leaving Atalanta and we all saw how that ended.
How did that end?
He played his heart out for 5 years and end with a scudetto.
How much money Milan collected from his sale? Didn’t he say before not signing that he’ll renew? Or you don’t find that important?
Milan collected nothing when he left because of incompetent management who never adjusted his salary for the entire 5 years he was at Milan, but because of who was in Milan management at the time some fans blame the players.
They allowed him to enter the last year of his contract without a renewal and at that point other teams offered more money and showed that they value him more than the club he gave a 100% every game.
Take care of your players on time and you won’t lose them for nothing.
Kessie was making half of what Theo was making while doing half of Theo’s job on top of doing his own job, and people say that Theo was underpaid.
Rest happy in the knowledge football wise he was finished after leaving Milan
You mean – like Mbappe left for free to RM as he wasn’t appreciated in PSG? Or like Trent left FLC for 10M because he wasn’t appreciated? And then each of them pocketed ridicilous amounts of money in signing fees?
Do you really believe you can make somebody renew their contract if they don’t want to? As for the wages – please go read Scottie Pippen’s story of his Chicago Bulls contract – his impact versus his earnings.
I’m making two points 1) players shouldn’t leave for free as that hurts clubs – especaily visible in lower tier teams. 2) nobody can be kept somewhere where they do not wish to stay any longer.
There are no guarantees players will stay even if they are taken care of – human greed has no boundaries.
So ? He must retire at ACM for all his entire career? . Every foreign player will leave someday. Player come and out are normal in every club. His family including his father are rossonerri fan, he will upset his father if he is behave like this in ACM , he can leave if there is more than 80m euro ( more than tonali or tiji price) , there is no italian club can resist 80m euro +++ offer in this time
After all this, it will certainly be quite resented by the fans! I do not believe that there are more future for him in Belgium !
I don’t understand the way Milan director and CEO go about being having interests in players and at the end of it all all, loose the player to another team because of lack of paying the amount . If Milan wants to win competitions , be ready to spend on the right players and stop all these scouting players all around the world and lose them to other teams and this is the reason we ain’t getting anywhere on the table and across the world competitions. Milan board are really causing pains in the heart of the fans by not getting the right players that will bring joy and happiness into the heart of we the fans. FORZAMILAN
I think Milan should just bring him now,his heart is in Milan,a player like him would give 100percent to the club
He would be a happy quality player here
So sad to see how far Milan and it’s fans have dropped that we are now officially at the point that we’re cheerful that bang average talent who may or may not turn out to be any good plays games and throws his dummy out the pram because he wants a move😧 and all this leading to what?.
Facts are if he’s half decent he’ll be sold within 12 months 😧 have you all got what you wanted?
Is the jet ready?
