The marriage between Milan And Joshua Zirkzee it will do. After the farewell of Olivier GiroudIn fact, the Rossoneri club has identified the strong Dutch striker as the replacement worthy of wearing the number 9 shirt. What until a few months ago was an interest has quickly turned into total exposure. After a crazy season at Bolognawith 12 goals in 38 seasonal appearances, topped off by the incredible qualification for the next one Champions League, the Dutchman will leave the Emilian capital after being convinced by Milan’s proposal. The Rossoneri, in fact, have decided to pay the price clause from 40 million and to ensure the player a engagement 4.5-5 million net per season plus bonuses. The news immediately inflamed the square which dreams of a stellar trident with Leao And Pulisic. Given that there will be no negotiations with the Bolognese, given the intention to pay the clause in full, the white smoke, expected in the next few days, depends on the dialogue with Zirkzee’s agent, Kia Joorabchianpowerful agent of the former Anderlecht.
The economic demand is particularly high – we are talking about approx 15 million of euros of commissions – but the Rossoneri club appears determined: Zirkzee will be Olivier Giroud’s heir and everything necessary will be done to speed things up and avoid interference from other clubs. Zirkzee, in fact, had entered the sights of Juventus, who will make it official next week Thiago Motta on his bench, who knows the Dutchman well, having made him explode in Bologna. The Bianconeri, however, given the long-standing budget issues, have no intention of working on more expensive purchases, both because there is Dusan Vlahovicand because the expensive purchase was identified in midfield in the figure of Teun Koopmeiners.
The 2001-born player, not called up by Ronald Koeman’s Netherlands for the European Championships, made his debut in 2019 with Bayern Monacowearing the Bavarian shirt for a year and a half and scoring 4 goals in 17 appearances. Immediately after his experiences at Parma – 4 appearances and 0 goals – and atAnderlechtwhere he scored 18 goals in 47 appearances.
Bologna notices him and decides to focus on him: in the first season he plays the role of deputy Arnautovic, in the second, thanks to the Austrian’s return to Inter, he becomes the absolute protagonist of a historic year. Now the Dutchman has promised himself to Milan for the definitive consecration in a big club, only a few details are missing for a signature that both parties desire.
