Milan have long since identified their new ideal centre forward: Joshua Zirkzee. The Dutchman has long been the Devil’s first choice to replace Olivier Giroud, and the fact that the Rossoneri management began negotiating with him practically last autumn can only be confirmation of this.
For a moment it was even believed that Milan could land the decisive blow on Zirkzeeafter that an agreement has been reached with the player on the basis of a five-year contract worth approximately 5 million per season according to Il Corriere dello Sport, but at the moment the agent of the Dutch Kia Joorabchian got in the way of the negotiations, going so far as to ask for up to 15 million euros in commissionsa figure which for ethical and principle reasons George Furlan he has no intention of paying, also because as Ibrahimovic said “We don’t do charity”.
The main obstacle is therefore this, with the Iranian agent who in the meantime could exploit the interest of Manchester United to put pressure on Milan. It cannot even be excluded, at this point of the fair, that the law of “when two litigants come to blows, the third one enjoys” could apply, because between the Red Devils and the Devil there is a Bologna that secretly hopes to outwit everyone by keeping Zirkzee for at least another year.
