- Milan to raise their bid for Jashari
- Jashari has refused to play for Brugge
- Xhaka and Guerra are alternatives
Milan’s initial offer of €37m (£32m/$43m) was deemed insufficient by Brugge and, according to Matteo Moretto, the Italian club are planning to make a new offer that is closer to the asking price of €40m (£34m/$46m).
With the sales of Emerson Royal, Lorenzo Colombo and Ismael Bennacer nearing completion, Milan are set to raise funds for reinvestment. Talks with Brugge over Jashari have been ongoing for days, with the player pushing for the move by refusing to play in the Belgian Super Cup last week. Milan had explored alternatives like Bayer Leverkusen‘s Granit Xhaka and Valencia‘s Javi Guerra, but Jashari has always remained their top priority.
Milan have completed the signing of defender Pervis Estupinan from Brighton as they look to provide reinforcements for Massimiliano Allegri. Having missed out on a place in Europe next season, the San Siro side are hopeful of finishing high up the Serie A table to ensure they return to the continental stage.
Milan will hope that their new offer will lower Brugge’s wall of resistance and give the green light for Jashari’s much awaited move. The 22-year-old is eager to make the move and will be awaiting positive news from the incoming offer.
