Everyone is crazy about Joshua Zirkzee. The first direct assault on the star of the Bologna revelation arrives, coached by a superlative Thiago Motta.
He is not a twenty-odd league goalscorer, even if this year he scored double figures. Maybe Joshua Zirkzee will become one now that he has found that continuity that had always been highlighted as a weak point.
So much quality, elegance in his movements, with Thiago Motta he has become a functional player: an attacker capable of defending the ball with his back to the goal to direct it towards his teammates. Excellent game vision, ball control and dribbling.
He has everything, he does everything and well in the vision of Thiago Motta, who has found the position for him, improved both in the defensive and offensive phases: a thorn in the side of any opposing defense, but also altruistic and generous with his continuous retreats defensive.
Agile in the narrow but physically strong, he steals the eye. Everyone has noticed his qualities, and now they want to snatch him from a Bologna team that, thanks also to his play, is fulfilling a dream called the Champions League.
A contractual situation to understand
Many want it. At the beginning, Juventus had taken the first steps towards Zirkzee, perhaps counting on the good word of Thiago Motta, designated as Max Allegri’s heir on the Juventus bench in the coming season. Milan is hunting for a nine and would like to give him that shirt regardless of who Stefano Pioli’s successor will be.
Inter have their eyes on him and could play Fabbian as a technical counter. The problem is that contractual situation which risks taking him away from Serie A. Yes, it all depends on Bayern.
That exclusive clause
If Bayern Munich asserts the right to buy back by paying the forty million clause (after having reached an agreement with the player, of course) there will be no one who can do anything. Not even Bologna. But that clause is exclusive to Bayern. If the former German champions do not exercise that right, then more than 40 million will be needed and, above all, it will be necessary to negotiate with Bologna. In the event that this second hypothesis were to occur, according to the Gazzetta dello Sport, Inter are currently in pole position.
Simone Inzaghi, in his tag team game, needs a deputy Lautaro Martinez who is up to the task. Obviously Belamata doesn’t have that amount, but it could get to Zirkzee in two ways. The first is cash to be agreed with Bologna plus Fabbian. The second could come from the transfers, first of all Valentin Carboni, who is expendable despite Inter believing a lot in his talent, shown at Monza this year. First we need to understand what Bayern will do, the rest will take care of itself.
