⚔️ Jashari, how long will the stalemate last?

The saga surrounding young Ardon Jashari from Bruges, a transfer target for Milan, continues to dominate. The Rossoneri have a contractual agreement with the player and have presented the Belgian club with an offer of 33.5 million plus 5 in bonuses upon reaching certain objectives.

Despite the Swiss player’s desire to join the Rossoneri and the generous offer on the table, Bruges does not seem willing to give in and continues to demand 40 million for the player’s card.

Igli Tare’s response was firm, emphasizing the good relations between the two clubs but also stating that they do not intend to go beyond their offer.

The player was not on the list for Bruges’ debut match in the Belgian championship, and the Rossoneri want to find a way to close the deal as soon as possible to allow the Swiss player to train with his new teammates.

In short, the negotiation is at a standstill but still alive: could it unlock in the coming hours?

🤔 Ndoye, a pause for reflection?

There is still uncertainty about Dan Ndoye’s situation at Bologna: Napoli currently has the highest offer, with a proposal for a loan with an obligation to buy set at 40 million, which does not fully convince the Rossoblù.

The Neapolitans are not willing to go further, but from Bologna, a new bid from Nottingham Forest, Napoli’s main competitor, is expected at any moment, with whom the player already has an agreement.

A situation that could further complicate if Manchester United were to join the race for the player: for this reason, Bologna is holding firm, trying to maximize their gain.

In short, a situation definitely worth keeping an eye on and ready to heat up.

👀 Inter makes a new bid for Lookman

Meanwhile, Inter continues to press for Ademola Lookman from Atalanta. According to Gazzetta, the Milanese club is ready with a new offer, significantly changing the terms: from a loan with an obligation to buy to an immediate permanent transfer.

A requirement that could soften Atalanta’s stance (asking for 50 million) and, in Marotta’s hopes, make the offer of around 43 million in fixed parts acceptable, not counting bonuses, possibly spread over several years. In short, a Koopmeiners-like operation, in a sense.

Inter has a total agreement with the player (4.5 million net per season rising to 5 over the next five years) but also demands an acceleration in negotiations to close as soon as possible.

In short, the ball is now in Atalanta’s court: will Marotta’s new bid be enough?

🔜 Como, will Morata’s deal be unlocked?

In the last hours of Sunday, the transfer of Alvaro Morata to Como was back in discussion. The topic was touched upon by the Lariani president Mirwan Suwarso in interviews before the friendly against Ajax: “All that’s missing is for him to be here. We have an agreement with Milan and the player. Galatasaray and Milan need to talk, we’ve done what we had to do.”

A situation that, however, could be close to unlocking, according to reports from Gianluca Di Marzio in the evening: Como is waiting for Milan to reach an agreement with the Turks to withdraw the Spaniard from the loan early.

An agreement that is closer with the definition of Victor Osimhen’s arrival in Istanbul, now at the signing stage, and which could therefore accelerate definitively in the coming hours.

💥 Xavi Simons, Chelsea is serious

The situation of Xavi Simons from Leipzig is also heating up. Chelsea is swooping in on the Dutch talent, ready to put 70 million euros on the table to secure him. Contacts have already been initiated with PSG, which owns the player’s card, and with Leipzig to define the exit modalities from the loan.

Chelsea would offer the player a very long-term contract (2032 or 2033) and a role as vice-Cole Palmer, for what is one of the most interesting European talents. An operation made possible also by the imminent sale of Joao Felix to Al Nassr.

A move that the Londoners could already finalize in the coming hours.
