“Everyone knows it was a long negotiation, but from the first contacts with Milan, it was clear that I wanted to come here,” he said at a press conference on Wednesday. “I knew it wouldn’t be easy because I was important to Club Brugge and they wouldn’t let me go easily. Patience was needed. Tare always told me he’d do everything he could to bring me here. Even though other clubs came, I only wanted Milan. Now we’re all happy.”

After a stellar 2024-25 season, winning both Belgian League Player and Young Player of the Year, Jashari joined Milan’s midfield rebuild. He named club legend Andrea Pirlo as his idol, highlighting their similar journeys from number 10s to deep-lying playmakers.

“My favourite player was Pirlo. I have a similar story to him; he started out as a No. 10, and so did I. Then he came here and played as a playmaker. I also started out as an attacking midfielder, and now I play further back. He was a huge inspiration to me. Obviously, we’re different players; I’ll play my own style.” he said.

Milan have also completed the signing of Modric on a free transfer from . For Jashari playing alongside the legendary six time winner is a great opportunity as it will help him gain experience.

Jashari has realised his childhood dream of joining Milan and will be ready to lace up his boots when the Rossoneri take on on Sunday in a knockout game.
