Through the site sportitalia.it, Alfredo Pedullàjournalist and market expert, expressed himself thus on AC Milan transfer market and on the Zirkzee deal: “A new chapter in the Zirkzee-Milan affair, with the commission issue as the fulcrum of a knotted plot. The soap opera concerning the Dutchman, however, will have to know, sooner or later, the end word. There has been a direct contact between the Rossoneri club and Kia Joorabchian, the Iranian agent who is handling the operation. Milan has announced that it wants to raise the stakes on commissions: what we can say is that Kia, contrary to some indiscretions, has already fallen significantly compared to the 15 million that he had asked for. The difference a few days ago was 3-4 million, Milan announced that they wanted to increase the offer in order to close the operation.
In the meantime, the Dutch striker, called up by the Netherlands to replace Brobbey, has the desire to know his future very soon, has chosen Milan and has a multi-year agreement on his salary (between 4.5 million and 5 million per season) . Now Milan must hurry for Zirkzee, getting ever closer to the definition, resolving the commission issue. He doesn’t use the word trust or even the one that leads to optimism, in the sense that facts count. And in the evening Milan showed that they wanted to do so, coming out again. Juve’s position is that of yesterday: request for information, knowing that Milan moved first. Juve, as we will explain, has other priorities: Zirkzee is a thing for Thiago Motta, but now we need to close the necessary operations in other departments. Waiting for the sale of Soulé and a clarification on the future of Chiesa. This is why Milan, with this move, could really enter, definitively, into the heart of the deal and close quickly.”
