Joshua Zirkzee will be one of the protagonists of the summer transfer market, there’s no doubt about this. The Dutch striker of Bologna attracted the eyes of half of Europe with a season of 12 total goals but above all with great technical value, in a team that is probably the revelation (with Girona) of the top 5 continental championships. There race to Zirkzee it will be very crowded and the Milanwho dreams of a new number 9 after Giroud, must guard against both national and British fire…
Precedence
Compared to the competition, writes the Gazzetta dello Sport this morning, the Milan has the advantage of having moved with a slight advance, even if this may not be enough during transfer negotiations. That the Rossoneri should focus on a new striker it has been clear for some time now and it is even more evident after the news, which will soon be made official, of the farewell of Olivier Giroud. For this reason, from via Aldo Rossi they have already had Zirkzee in their sights for a while, he who was a hot spot even before arriving at Bologna. What seems obvious is that a large part of Milan’s transfer budget will be invested in the new striker. The Rossoneri seem willing to get to 45-50 million euros but they are not willing to participate in auctions of any kind, which would only raise the price. Compared to the other contenders, the Rossoneri they can play the Alexis Saelemaekers cardon loan to Bologna from Milan and protagonist of a good season: in Emilia they want to keep him and his redemption It is worth approximately 10 million euros.
Competition
As mentioned, the Milan will face a lot of competition. The two most fearsome teams to date, according to the squad, are the Juventus and Arsenal. The Bianconeri started a little later than the Rossoneri but would like to include the Dutchman in their team, perhaps playing alongside Dusan Vlahovic. Another danger comes from the Gunners who certainly put it on the table important economic offer And greater appeal of the championship. However, everything will be decided by Bologna. The feeling is that the request could rise up to 60 million euros: this is because the rossoblù must protect themselves from 40% of the resale which, from previous agreements, is due to Bayern Monaco, the team that launched Zirkzee into the world of football. The Bavarians with 40 million they could also bring the Dutchman back home, but with Kane and the Givoane Tel just renewed in the long term it seems unlikely that they will spend to further crowd their attacking park.
