In a stunning development, Manchester United is reportedly ready to finalize a whopping £46.5 million agreement, encompassing both the transfer fee and agent commission, to secure the services of Joshua Zirkzee from Bologna.
Multiple reports suggest that the ongoing transfer saga surrounding Zirkzee could potentially unfold in three different ways during this summer.
Firstly, the talented center forward might opt to stay with his current club, Bologna, on the existing terms and wages.
Alternatively, Bologna could explore the possibility of paying Bayern Munich around 16 million euros to acquire complete ownership rights of Zirkzee. Under the current arrangement, they would be obligated to share a portion of the sale fee with the Bavarians.
Lastly, Zirkzee himself could express his desire to play for a different club, with Manchester United being a potential destination.
According to reports from a reputable Rome-based media outlet, Manchester United is willing to go all out to secure the signing of Zirkzee.
Their proposed deal is said to be worth a staggering £46.5 million (equivalent to 55 million euros), with 40 million euros designated as the transfer fee and an additional 15 million euros allocated for agent commission.
It is rumored that the 20-time English champions are prepared to activate the release clause without any hesitation and, astonishingly, also pay the commission fee to Kia Joorabchian to ensure the successful completion of the deal.
While AC Milan had initially emerged as fierce competitors for Zirkzee’s signature, they are conspicuously absent from today’s report in CorSport.
Erik ten Hag, the manager of Manchester United, is keen to bolster his attacking options and is seeking a prolific striker capable of netting at least 20 goals in the Premier League.
This ambitious move reflects the club’s determination to mount a serious challenge for the title.
