After the sale of Tijjani Reijnders to Manchester City and the probable one of Yunus Musah to Napoli, La Gazzetta dello Sport write that Milan are in the market for a new central midfielder.
For the Swiss international – unlike the other name on the list, Javi Guerra of Valencia – it would not be the first time on the green pitch of San Siro. The Meazza, for Jashari, midfielder of Bruges, seems to be a question of destiny.
On October 22nd, Jashari took to the field at San Siro for the first time in his career in a 3-1 defeat for his team Club Brugge, a team that for long stretches of the match (despite Onyedika’s red card in the first half) put the Rossoneri in great difficulty .
“My dream is coming true,” he declared before taking to the field. A few months later, interviewed by the Belgian newspaper HLN, he explained why.
“In the second half I looked in front of me and saw an impressive black wall, the Curva Sud of the great AC Milan. I was so proud to be there, I thought of my mother, my family,” he said.
“As a child we went to see Milan-Barcelona [2011-12 Champions League group stage]. We were at the top of the stadium, in the third tier. I was eight years old. Since that day, playing at San Siro has always been my dream and suddenly I found myself there.”
And who knows, maybe he will be back in a few weeks, even if reports from Germany suggest that it will cost €30m+ to complete a deal.
