- Ardon Jashari gives his first ميلان interview
- Says he’s proud to join the club
- Seeks to learn a lot from Luka Modric
Beaming with hope and determination about his new move, Jashari says it was his childhood dream to join the club. Speaking to the club’s official media, the Swiss midfielder is excited to start his journey as a Rossoneri and looks forward to playing alongside Modric. The 23-year-old says he’s also got his luck on his back taking up the no.30 shirt at the club.
It was Milan’s third bid that كلوب بروج could finally agree upon. The club’s agreed on a deal worth €34 million (£29m/$39m) guaranteed with €3m in performance-based bonuses. These bonuses are each of €1m and could reportedly be triggered should Milan qualify for next season’s دوري أبطال أوروبا, reach the Champions League semi-finals and win الدوري الإيطالي while Jashari is a part of the club. However, nothing could force the hands of the Belgian club more than Jashari’s unflinching desire to join Milan.
Speaking to the club’s official media, the Swiss midfielder said: “It’s an incredible feeling to be here after the last few weeks. I’m truly proud to be part of this historic team. I want to take the club where it deserves to be, win matches and titles, and I’m ready to give it my all. Playing for AC Milan was a dream I’ve had since I was a child, and now it’s come true.”
When asked about his inspiration, Jashari said: “Definitely Roberto Baggio and Andrea Pirlo. I liked the way they played; technically they were really strong. Their final passes, how creative they were… These are things I try to bring into my own game. Physically, I can make a significant impact, help in both phases of play and provide the decisive assist in critical areas. I think these are my strengths with which I can help the team.”
Speaking on taking up the no.30 shirt and playing alongside Modric at the club, Jashari said: “I started out wearing this number in سويسرا, at the club where I turned professional. I love Messi, so I also took it because he had it. It brought me luck in the past, so I wanted to keep it. I hope to make it a historic number. Starting my adventure here with an incredible player who has won so much can only help me. I want to learn a lot from him, listen to him, watch how he is on and off the pitch.”
After a dragged on summer transfer saga, the ex-Luzern midfielder will now focus on his journey at San Siro. The Serie A side have a new midfield in place giving all the fire power for Massimiliano Allegri to work with. The Italian club will face Bari in the first round of the Coppa Italia next before the league kicks off on August 24.
