HERE WE GO: Manchester confirmed another signing,Fee agreed on a long term deal till 2027,player currently undergoing medical at LONDON Carrington
Manchester United are preparing to announce the first signing of the Sir Jim Ratcliffe era after agreeing a deal to sign Bologna striker Joshua Zirkzee.
The 23-year-old Netherlands international will join on €42.5milion deal as the club look to bolster their forward options and provide support for striker Rasmus Hojlund.
Zirkzee made two appearances off the bench at Euro 2024 which came off the back of a successful season with Bologna that saw him net 12 goals and provide seven assists as his side claimed a Champions League spot after finishing fifth under manager Thiago Motta.
And it’s fair to say that Motta, who joined Juventus last month, was a big fan of the Dutchman, as he has previously said that the forward reminds him of Ronaldinho, the thrilling Brazilian playmaker that Motta played alongside at Barcelona.
“He said that his idols are Ibrahimovic and Batistuta, who are two excellent players,” said Motta after Zirkzee scored a late winner for Bologna against Lazio in February. “Seeing him day to day, he reminds me of the Ronaldinho I played with at Barcelona, but I cannot compare him to anyone.
“He is Joshua, he is special, he enjoys his football and above all works very hard in training.
