Zirkzee is preparing to leave Bologna and move to a top club. The future of the forward born in 2001 has already been decided: the coup is in the pipeline.
Now his goal is to experience a European Championship as a protagonist, helping his Netherlands get as far as possible. The future, meanwhile, has already been defined. Joshua Zirkzee in these hours, in fact, has found a way to often meet with his agent Kia Joorabchian in order to understand where to continue his career. A stay at Bologna, despite qualifying for the Champions League, was ruled out. His desire is to go and play in a top club so as to perform on even more prestigious stages.
The choice, in this sense, fell on Milan for several days now looking for a suitable replacement for Olivier Giroud. Initially the Rossoneri had signed up for the races regarding Benjamin Sesko and Serhou Guirassy but the high valuation of the Slovenian owned by Leipzig (over 60 million) and the salary requested by the Guinean from Stuttgart (5 million) then convinced the management led by Gerry Cardinal to bet hard on Zirzkee. Who, for his part, made it known that he very much appreciated the transfer to the court of Paulo Fonseca.
Taking it away from Bologna will be relatively simple: just pour it into the rossoblù coffers the 40 million established by the termination clause. However, the negotiations with the entourage of the 23-year-old who has scored 12 goals and 7 assists in 37 appearances in the championship (34) and Coppa Italia (3) this season are proving to be much more complicated. What is missing, so far, is not the agreement relating to the salary: for the class of 2001 a top player salary of between 4 and 5 million is ready.
Zirkzee has decided: his future has already been established
To produce the white smoke desired by the fans it must be found the agreement on the commissions to be paid to Joorabchian who, to close the deal, asks for at least 15 million. Milan, for their part, would not like to go beyond 7. The parties, by return post, will return to discuss in order to try to get closer and take concrete steps towards closure. In the meantime, Manchester United were placed in the window who dreams of pairing Zirkzee with Rasmus Hojlund.
The English offensive, however, does not scare the Rossoneri who aim to complete the operation on July 1st (the day on which it will be possible to exercise the clause). Cautious optimism reigns in the environment, however, to protect itself, the club is also following other profiles. The names, according to what was reported by ‘Tuttosport’, are those of Artem Dovbyk of Girona and Santiago Gimenez of Feyenoord.
