Ardon Jashari has had a difficult debut season at AC Milan following his move from Club Brugge last summer, and the club's struggles with the Swiss midfielder have opened a door for Juventus.

Jashari, 23, arrived with significant expectations β€” Milan paid approximately €35 million for his signature β€” but an injury disrupted his start and he has featured in only ten Serie A appearances, starting four of them.

La Gazzetta dello Sport reports that Luciano Spalletti has added Jashari to Juventus's midfield shortlist ahead of the summer window.

The Bianconeri are prepared to act if Milan are willing to accept a reasonable fee, which would represent a quick turnaround on a player who barely featured in his debut campaign.

Milan's position is not yet clear. The club invested heavily in Jashari last summer precisely because of his profile β€” a combative, box-to-box presence who had been one of Brugge's standout players over three seasons. The coaching staff had been enthusiastic before the injury.

Whether Max Allegri, whose future at the club is also under discussion, views Jashari as part of his rebuild plans going forward will likely determine whether Milan are open to negotiating.
