Liverpool have been plotting a move to sign Joshua Zirkzee, but as per reports, Man United are closing in to secure a deal worth £46.6m.
A few days ago, CO reported that Arne Slot likes the Dutch forward and could hijack United’s move to hire him from Bologna.
However, as per the latest reports coming from Italy, the Red Devils are in pole position to get the deal over the line.
According to Corriere dello Sport (via The Faithful), Man United are ‘closer’ to Joshua Zirkzee, who is expected to leave the Rossoblu in the summer transfer window.
As per the Italian source, the 23-year-old striker has a release clause of 40 million euros, on the other hand, his representative, Kia Joorabchian, is demanding a commission of 15 million euros.
So, a combined fee worth 55 million euros (£46.6m) is needed to get the signing done.
It is reported that Man United are prepared to pay, without any problem, the £46.6m required to agree the deal for Zirkzee.
