No illusions as long as there is nothing in black and white: you can dream, but always with your feet on the ground. Saying that Joshua Zirkzee be the great objective of Milan to complete a top-level attack unit, we are certainly not telling anything new. He has been for months and for months the club has been following him, courting him and working towards his transfer 225km further north of the Renato Stadium From the Ara. San Sirothe Scala del Calcio where this year he shone both against Inter and Milan, awaits him with open arms and dreams.
The knot commissions it’s frightening because the possibility that the negotiation could stall must still be taken into consideration. Or that a top European club decides to bully the Dutchman and convince him, despite his desire to stay in Italy, to move dozens and dozens of kilometers further away than he already would. From June 8th to July 1st the road is longinsidious, but what is certain today is a fact: the Rossoneri club is in pole position, more than Arsenal or Juventus, i.e. the two interested competitors mentioned so far by the main media.
The man of great occasions
Cesena, JuventusCagliari, InterSassuolo, Lazio, Florentine, TurinSalernitana, Inter, MilanSassuolo, Lazio, Atalanta, Rome. Why these teams 12 teams? They were Joshua Zirkzee’s victims in the 2023/24 season between goals and assists (12 and 7).
What can you notice? He was the protagonist against the first, second, third, fourth, sixth, seventh, eighth and ninth in the rankings. Oh but the fifth… it was Bologna, that’s it. He has shown that he knows how to raise his level and above all that he knows how have an impact in big matches. What was missing, despite the great season and the different role, from Christian Pulisic when talking about Rossoneri summer signings. He has always had a hand in one way or another, most of the time away in important stadiums. Character to spare.
Of course, we need to talk in general about Bologna and the exceptional year and not exaggerate with compliments to the individual. But you’ve all seen the games, the class too. TO 40 million knows of deal not to be missed, high commissions or not (rightly handled).
Zirkzee… and then?
Let’s go back to the initial concept: dreaming. With a 9 like that who has those shots and that quality it’s hard to hold back and not do it. What do we do? Petrol on fire. Don’t worry, but the prospect of having someone born in 2001 like Joshua in the Milan attack Zirkzee and a 2008 like Francesco Camarda, fresh from the contract, would be incredible news. A warning to the opponents: there will be no shortage of goals.
In short, that of the Dutchman would be a deal that would mortgage the years to come of a department which, apart from Giroud and Ibrahimovic, had had known problems in the last decade. It is clear that Camarda cannot be the alternative to Zirkzee today. This is why it is right to ask the question: who possibly at his side? The type of contractual agreement with Luka Jovic suggests an important reflection: renewing a player with a certain amount of experience for another year, without being tied down for too long a period, seems to be a great opportunity. Not forgetting, of course, Noah Okafor that that role can be filled with different characteristics. So yes, we can say it: the wedding has to happen.
