A new chapter adds to the ongoing soap opera surrounding the future of Ardon Jashari. Over the past weekend, a sense of cautious optimism emerged from Casa Milan regarding the deal, partly due to the significant improved offer the Rossoneri had prepared and submitted to Club Brugge for the player.

In the end, not even the €33.5 million plus bonuses were enough to break through the Belgians’ resistance, as they remain firm in their stance: to let the Swiss midfielder go, they demand an offer of at least €35 million guaranteed (plus bonuses). Regarding this saga, which has now become a full-blown soap opera, this morning's Il QS featured the headline:
"Milan raise their bid. Club Brugge hold firm. The Jashari mystery deepens."
Meanwhile, the player continues to stand his ground, insisting he only wants to wear the Rossoneri shirt.
