The long saga of the transfer market between Milan and Club Brugge for Ardon Jashari continues to take new developments.
The talented Swiss midfielder was not present on the pitch during the friendly match that the Belgians played on Friday afternoon, raising major question marks over his immediate future.
An absence that could be a signal for an agreement with the Rossoneri to be reached, or simply a tactical coincidence, but in any case has sparked discussions in the Rossoneri environment.
Within Milan's environment, there is high sensitivity about this file, especially after the not very pleasant interview that Club Brugge's leaders gave on Thursday, implying a tough stance in the negotiations.
On the other hand, Milan's sporting director, Igli Tare, has made it clear that the club will not increase the latest offer, 33 million euros fixed plus 5 million in bonuses.
Against this backdrop of tension, everything may depend on the player himself.
Ardon Jashari, who has already expressed his desire to transfer to Milan, is exerting internal pressure to facilitate a move to Massimiliano Allegri's team.
The Rossoneri hope that the weekend will bring positive developments, perhaps even a first step towards concluding the deal, which would bring one of Europe's most promising midfielders to the Serie A giants.
