Recent reports claim that Milan are moving closer to an agreement with Club Brugge over a possible deal for Ardon Jashari, partly as a result of a series of impending Rossoneri departures, including Emerson Royal and Lorenzo Colombo.

Milan have been targeting a move for Jashari for most of the summer transfer window, but have not yet been able to satisfy Club Brugge’s request for a fee in the region of €40m.

Massimiliano Allegri’s side had not found an agreement after an offer of €32.5m plus add-ons, but reports on Thursday evening claimed that they are now prepared to offer a fixed fee of €35m, plus a series of easily achievable bonuses, which could potentially be enough to get the deal done.

Reports from Calciomercato.com claim that Igli Tare is confident of closing a deal with Club Brugge in the coming days.

Which departures help Milan towards improved Jashari offer?

Calciomercato suggests that the Rossoneri have been able to find the additional funds and space in the squad through a number of impending departures.

Among those players expected to leave Milan in the near future is Emerson Royal, who is expected to join Flamengo in a permanent deal after the Brazilian outfit successfully hijacked the deal between the Rossoneri and Besiktas.

Also leaving Milan is Lorenzo Colombo after five consecutive loan spells away from San Siro. He will head to Genoa on an initial loan deal with a potential obligation to buy included.

Milan are also prepared to send Noah Okafor out on loan again, with reports suggesting that Bologna are interested and keen to include an option to buy.

Midfielders Yacine Adlie and Ismael Bennacer, neither of whom travelled with the squad for their pre-season tour in Asia, are also expected to leave the club this summer. Recent updates claim that Sassuolo and Torino are potentially interested in the Frenchman, while Marseille and Al-Ittihad are interested in the Algerian.
