MILAN – Joshua Zirkzee and Milan, a situation that has experienced a stalemate in recent days and which, over the course of this week, will have to take a more precise direction. The Rossoneri club has already informed Bologna that on 1 July it will activate the 40 million clause and has an agreement with the player for a five-year contract worth 4.5 million per season plus bonuses. The problem, at this stage of the negotiation, concerns the services of Kia Joorabchian, agent of the Dutch attacker. The agent claims 15 million commissions, which would be his “fair compensation” for having put a low termination clause in the agreement between Bologna and Bayern Munich. A sum that Milan has no intention of paying in its entirety, so much so that there are ongoing negotiations to bring it below 10 million, but the Rossoneri are also under pressure from a place that is waiting for the shot that will restore enthusiasm.
Milan: not just Zirkzee
Milan has been working on Zirkzee for months and stopping now, due to an ethical issue on the commissions where the Rossoneri club is essentially alone within the football system, could be counterproductive towards its fans, who have badly digested the choice of Paulo Fonseca as the new coach and who are waiting at the gate Furlani, Ibrahimovic And Moncada on the market. It’s right not to give to charity, quoting Ibrahimovic, but the climate is not calm and something is needed to calm it down. Dragging it out, then, could also lead to the club losing the first alternatives to Zirkzee, who has always been seen with the very first choice. Artem Dovbyk he likes Girona, but he is a different player to Zirkzee who – in any case – would go well with Fonseca’s football ideas, but Atletico Madrid are interested in him and Napoli have also inquired about him.
We need to accelerate, break this slow trend which outside the AC Milan headquarters gives the feeling of stalemate and increases uncertainty. All without forgetting the option that leads to Armando Broja of Chelsea, which can be a parallel path to that of the starting nine even net of the renewal of Luke Jovic, for which an agreement was reached a few days ago. For Broja, Milan would like a formula that includes a loan with the right to buy. For the midfield the names followed and liked the most are those of Fofana of Monaco and of Wieffer of Feyenoord, where he also plays Santiago Gimenez which could be an option for the 9. To be reported as Alex Jimeneza Spanish full-back who arrived from Real Madrid last year, has been bought out by Milan and will shuttle between the Under 23s and the first team.
