HERE WE GO: Manchester United completed another big signing of the summer by landing £70m superstar, signed and sealed, Medical done – Club announcement today
Manchester United completed their first signing of the summer by landing Joshua Zirkzee from Italian Serie A side, Bologna.
If reports in the media are anything to go by then Man Utd agreed terms worth £58.7m in fees and wages for Zirkzee.
According to The Guardian, the Red Devils secured a fee agreement with the Italian side worth 42.5 million euros, £35.6m, an amount they will pay over the course of three years.
One of the main reasons the Old Trafford outfit were able to beat AC Milan to the signing of the Dutch international is that unlike the Rossoneri, the PL side decided to pay the commission fee demanded by the striker’s agent.
As per Calcio Mercato, Man Utd sealed the deal with Zirkzee’s representatives by paying a fee of 10 million euros, £8.4m.
Last but not the least, as far as the personal terms are concerned, the Netherlands center forward has agreed a five year deal, with an option for a further year.
As per Corriere di Bologna, Zirkzee’s five year contract is worth £14.7m, around £2.9m a year, £56,000 a week.
The Oranje forward will take home a relatively low salary considering the huge wage-bill at Old Trafford.
Hence, the combined worth of the deal including all the fees and wages is around £58.7m.
After signing for Man Utd, Zirkzee claimed that he is ready for the challenge. In your view, how many goals will he score in his debut season in England?
