Excitement has reached fever pitch in London Carrington as Manchester United fans celebrate the club’s first signing of the summer. The new player has inked a four-year deal, and the medical team is prepped for his arrival today. A formal announcement from the club is expected shortly. Welcome to Old Trafford, champion.
The long-running transfer saga involving Joshua Zirkzee appears to be nearing its conclusion, with Manchester United among the frontrunners to secure his services.
According to reports from Corriere di Bologna, the Dutch center forward is likely to move to one of several top clubs, including Manchester United, AC Milan, Juventus, and Arsenal.
The Italian media outlet notes that the English Premier League clubs have intensified their efforts to sign Zirkzee, especially after Benjamin Sesko decided to extend his contract with RB Leipzig. Manchester United and other interested clubs can potentially finalize the deal by matching both the release clause and the agent fees involved.
Zirkzee’s current contract includes a release clause set at £33.8 million (€40 million), a sum that is accessible to all interested parties. However, his agent, Kia Joorabchian, is seeking a commission of approximately £12.7 million (€15 million) to facilitate the transfer.
As the negotiations drag on, Bologna is looking to capitalize on the situation. The Italian club is prepared to offer Zirkzee a new contract worth €3.5 million per year in an effort to remove the exit clause and retain the striker.
