Ardon Jashari is on his way to becoming an AC Milan player, with the Swiss international currently en route to Italy to finalize a move that's been weeks in the making. The midfielder departed Ostend Airport in Belgium on Tuesday, August 5, 2025, and is expected to land in Milan later this evening.
According to Softfootball sources, Jashari will undergo medical tests on Wednesday and sign a five-year deal with the Rossoneri, worth around 2.5 million net per season. After weeks of stalled negotiations and intense speculation, it appears Milan have finally got their man.
The deal which has long seemed like a matter of "when," not "if" was confirmed today by multiple outlets, including transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, who shared the first photo of Jashari on his way to Milan.
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano reported via his official X account . He wrote:
Despite serious interest from Chelsea and Bayer Leverkusen, Jashari remained firm on his stance: it was Milan or nothing. He reportedly made it clear to his agents and Club Brugge that he wouldn't consider any other destination a rare show of loyalty in modern football's transfer climate.
Negotiations with Club Brugge were far from easy. Milan submitted multiple offers throughout the summer, but the Belgian side refused to budge. According to several insiders, Brugge not only held firm on their valuation but may have moved the goalposts at various points, making the deal even harder to finalize.
In the past few days, Milan were rumored to be exploring alternatives, including Valencia midfielder Javi Guerra, after the Jashari talks seemingly hit another wall. They are also actively pursuing Young Boys talent Zachary Athekame .
However it now appears that a breakthrough was reached, possibly after Milan agreed to reduce the number of payment instalments from five years to four a detail that may have sealed the deal.
Jashari's medical and official unveiling are expected to follow swiftly after his arrival. If all goes as planned, the Swiss midfielder will become Milan's latest summer signing as they continue to reshape their midfield ahead of the 2025/26 season.
And for Jashari, this marks the next chapter in a career that's already seen him rise through the ranks of Swiss football, shine in Belgium, and now step into the limelight at San Siro the club he's always wanted.
