TERMS AGREED: Medical date fixed for the arrival of new Man united signing after breaking club record transfer – He will be in London today to complete paperwork awaiting for club official announcement
Man Utd are prepared to agree £46.5million deal, involving transfer fee and agent commission, to sign Joshua Zirkzee from Bologna, as per reports.
According to a story covered by Corriere dello Sport today, the transfer saga could have three possible solutions this summer.
First, the center forward may decide to stay with the Serie A side on the current wages and terms.
Second, Bologna would prefer paying around 16 million euros to Bayern Munich to earn complete rights to Zirkzee. The current deal suggests they have to pay a percentage of the sale fee to the Bavarians.
Third, Zirkzee informs the Italian side that he wants to play elsewhere, perhaps at ‘Manchester United’.
The Rome based media outlet have mentioned that Man Utd are prepared to agree a deal worth £46.5million (55 million euros – 40 million euros transfer fee and 15 million euros agent commission) to sign Zirkzee.
It is stated that the 20-time English champions are willing to activate the release clause and, ‘without batting an eyelid’, also pay Kia Joorabchian the commission fee to get the deal over the line.
AC Milan have been the main rivals for the signature of Joshua Zirkzee but the Rossoneri are not even mentioned in today’s CorSport report.
Erik ten Hag needs a striker who can score at least 20 goals in the Premier League if United are to seriously challenge for the title.
In your opinion, should Man Utd agree a deal worth £46.5million to sign Joshua Zirkzee?
