Manchester United Confirms £60m Signing of Star Player Joshua Zirkzee on a 5-Year Deal
In a significant move for the summer transfer window, Manchester United has secured the services of Dutch forward Joshua Zirkzee from Bologna. Renowned sports journalist Fabrizio Romano broke the news, detailing the intricacies of the deal.
Romano, known for his accurate transfer reports, revealed that all aspects of Zirkzee’s move to Manchester United have been finalized. He stated, “Joshua Zirkzee to Manchester United, the ‘Here we go’ is really imminent. The agreement between Man United and Zirkzee is done; it’s an agreement on the contract, on the salary, on the commission. So everything is agreed and done.”
With personal terms and agent fees already settled, the primary task for Manchester United now is to finalize the transfer fee with Bologna. Zirkzee’s contract with the Italian club includes a release clause set at 40 million euros. Manchester United is considering two potential approaches: either triggering the clause outright or negotiating an installment plan, which would see them pay slightly more, between 2-3 million euros above the clause amount.
Romano has emphasized that the transfer is on the brink of completion, stating that the move is “very close. Really, really close.” This indicates that it is only a matter of time before Zirkzee officially dons the Manchester United jersey.
As of now, Zirkzee’s immediate focus is on the European Championships, where the Netherlands is set to face England in the semi-final. The 23-year-old forward, who has made a single appearance in the tournament so far, is expected to start on the bench against the Three Lions.
Zirkzee’s addition to Manchester United will bolster their attacking options and is expected to be a key player in their campaign for the upcoming season. His move is seen as a strategic effort by the club to enhance their squad depth and overall performance on the field.
