Joshua Zirkzee has been one of AC Milan’s biggest wishes for the upcoming transfer window. However, the players’ agents couldn’t come to an agreement with the club regarding their commission fee, and Man United is ready to take advantage of that. As per The Athletic, the Red Devils have entered the race for Zirkzee’s signature, who is currently with the Netherlands at the European Championship in Germany. The source above asserts that United have yet to start the negotiations with Bologna but that they are very interested in the player, which is why they have already contacted his agents, although the 23-year-old is currently only one of their options for a new forward.🚨🔴 Been told that concrete talks between ManUtd and Joshua Zirkzee‘stop agent Kia Joorabchian have started! #Zirkzee, a top target for the attack of #MUFC again and as revealed today – after a total agreement with AC Milan is not in sight at this stage. Understand, ManUtd… pic.twitter.com/PPWI7LCJ2s— Florian Plettenberg (@Plettigoal) June 18, 2024 Zirkzee has a release clause worth 40 million euros, which should not be a problem for any of the interested clubs, certainly not for Milan, since the Rossoneri’s management has already informed their colleagues from Bologna that they will activate the clause. Apart from that, they also agreed on personal terms with the forward (a five-year contract worth 4 million euros per season). Still, the agreement is put on hold since the player’s agents demand 15 million euros as a commission.Ten Hag: ‘United told me they spoke with Tuchel’The Dutchman’s representatives believe they deserved the mentioned amount, given that they managed to reduce the release clause by at least 20 million euros. On the other hand, Milan hasn’t paid large amounts to agents over the past few years and thus does not want to do that in this case either, which is jeopardizing the entire deal. Zirkzee reportedly wants to stay in Serie A and favours Milan, but even if he doesn’t end up at San Siro, he won’t be too sad since there are a number of alternatives. Thiago Motta, who coached him in Bologna, wants to take the Dutchman with him to Juventus, Arsenal is following the situation’s development, and now United has joined the race as well, looking for another forward after the departure of Anthony Martial.##NAJAVA_MECA_8167953##
