Man United transfer news: Red Devils 'hold talks' over move for AC Milan-linked midfielder

Manchester United have reportedly held talks over a move for Club Brugge midfielder Ardon Jashari.

The 22-year-old is being linked with a move away from Club Brugge, just a year after he joined the Belgian side from FC Lucerne.

Jashari established himself as a key player in the Club Brugge lineup, contributing four goals and six assists in 52 competitive appearances.

As a result of his performances for his club side, Jashari was given the chance to make his first international start in Switzerland's 4-0 win over the USA last month.

According to The Mirror, Jashari has also caught the attention of Premier League giants Manchester United, who are on the lookout for a new midfielder to replace Christian Eriksen.

The Dane will officially leave Old Trafford when his contract expires at the end of this month, opening up a space in Ruben Amorim's engine room.

The report states that Man United have held discussions with Jashari's representatives, having identified the Switzerland international as a potential target. 

Jashari does not appear too keen on a move to the Red Devils, while he has also turned down approaches from Fulham and West Ham United. 

Man United still want to recruit a new midfielder, although they are currently prioritising their search for a number nine.

Jashari's Premier League suitors appear to be trailing Italian giants AC Milan, who have already made an official offer.

The Rossoneri have tabled a bid worth an initial £21.3m, plus an additional £4.3m in add-ons. 

However, Club Brugge are looking for €40m (£34m) to part ways with a player who is under contract until the summer of 2029.

It remains to be seen whether any other club joins the race for Jashari, who has been mooted as a potential target for Paris Saint-Germain and Juventus.
