At Milan, the search continues for the heir of Olivier Giroud, who has arrived in MLS, in view of next season. As we have been telling you for some time now, the number one objective is Joshua Zirkzee, who has a clause of 40 million euros in his contract with Bologna, to which, however, those requested by the agents for commissions will also have to be added, a real obstacle that for the moment is preventing him from reaching the white smoke. In the last few hours, however, there has been growing optimism in the Rossoneri home, with the management soon meeting the Dutchman’s entourage to try to close the gap, given the initial request of 15 million euros and Milan’s desire to reach the maximum of 10, to close the operation and prevent other clubs from entering.
There is the alternative.
In addition to this, according to what was gathered by the editorial staff of TMW, the option Artem Dovbyk from the Girone also remains standing, author of a splendid season in the last Liga. The Ukrainian is not the first choice, which always remains Zirkzee, but contacts also remain alive for the center forward born in 1997. If the Zirkzee operation does not go through, Dovbyk’s name would rise to the front row.
Returning to Zirkzee, a further danger for the Rossoneri comes from England. Manchester United, in fact, would have in the Dutchman one of the primary objectives for the attack on the transfer market. And even Arsenal, having lost Sesko, would have turned the spotlight back on the Dutchman, who made the fortunes of Bologna and who should not return to Munich: in the Premier League he would find football very different from Italian football, but no one has any doubts on its qualities.
Thursday morning, around 11.45am, Zlatan Ibrahimovic he will meet journalists at a press conference, he reveals MilanNews.it. A very important moment in this historical phase of Milan, which after the closure of the Pioli cycle, where the Swedish manager will speak in front of reporters to answer the questions that many are asking about the programmatic phase of the AC Milan project. It will be the first time that Ibrahimovic will speak in an official capacity as a manager after his return to the club in December. It is conceivable that the name of the new coach will be announced here, namely Paulo Fonseca. The event will be broadcast live on YouTube and also on the official application of the Rossoneri club.
