Manchester United have been linked with a move for Bologna striker Joshua Zirkzee, but AC Milan might be the favourites.
According to Calciomercato, AC Milan are keen on signing Joshua Zirkzee, and they have an advantage over Premier League club Manchester United in the race to sign the 23-year-old Bologna striker.
Zirkzee was outstanding for Bologna this past season, and he contributed towards 19 goals in all competitions. The striker could prove to be a quality acquisition for both clubs, and it will be interesting to see where he ends up.
Manchester United need to add more quality and depth through their attacking unit, and the Dutchman should prove to be a quality addition. On the other hand, AC Milan need to bring in a reliable goalscorer as well.
The Italian outfit have already agreed personal terms with Joshua Zirkzee, and that gives them an advantage over the English club. Manchester United are still in the early stages of negotiations, and they will have to satisfy the demands of the player and his agent in order to get the deal done.
The striker’s agent Kia Joorabchian is demanding €15 million as commission for the transfer. It will be interesting to see if Manchester United are willing to pay up or turn to alternatives. They will be hoping to push for major trophies next season, and signing a quality striker would be ideal for them.
Manchester United need another quality striker
Manchester United signed Rasmus Hojlund last summer, and the Denmark international has done quite well for them. But he needs more support in the attack, and signing the Dutchman would be ideal. Zirkzee has proven his quality in Serie A, and he will look to make his mark in the Premier League now.
The opportunity to join a club like Manchester United will be quite attractive for the 23-year-old, and it remains to be seen how the situation develops. The Red Devils certainly have the financial resources to get the deal done, and it will be interesting to se whether they can overtake AC Milan in the race to sign the player.
Manchester United are one of the biggest clubs in the world, and joining them will be a major step up in his career. The Dutchman might get to push for major trophies with the Premier League heavyweights.
