Man Utd ‘Find Agreement’ with Joshua Zirkzee’s Agent! ⚽️ The Red Devils are set to strengthen their attack with the talented forward. Exciting times ahead at Old Trafford! 🌟
Manchester United’s quest for a new striker has been ongoing for several months, particularly after Benjamin Sesko re-signed with RB Leipzig. However, recent developments have given United a boost, as they have reportedly reached a commission fee agreement with Joshua Zirkzee’s agent, Kia Joorabchian.
Zirkzee has enjoyed a standout season at Bologna, scoring 11 goals in Serie A and helping the team qualify for the Champions League for the first time in decades under coach Thiago Motta. His impressive performance also earned him a spot in the Netherlands’ EURO 2024 squad. While Arsenal has shown interest in Zirkzee, United appear to be leading the race after settling on commission terms with his agent.
An exclusive report from insider Nick Semeraro reveals that United have a tentative agreement with Joorabchian regarding commission payments. Bologna is aware that United are ready to meet Zirkzee’s £34 million release clause, leaving the final decision to Zirkzee himself, who must choose between AC Milan and United.
Currently on international duty, Zirkzee’s focus is on EURO 2024, so any transfer decision may be delayed until the tournament concludes. Despite United’s progress, Milan remains confident of securing the striker, though Joorabchian has pressured Milan to finalize the deal quickly, offering United a discount on commissions, which is not extended to Milan due to strained relations.
With Anthony Martial set to leave United following the expiration of his contract, the club urgently needs a backup for Rasmus Hojlund. Hojlund had a commendable debut season in the Premier League, but United’s attacking unit, aside from Bruno Fernandes and Alejandro Garnacho, has underperformed.
The addition of Zirkzee would provide United with a different type of striker. While Hojlund is a traditional No. 9 known for his speed and strength, Zirkzee offers creativity and technical skill, traits that have drawn comparisons to Ronaldinho. This makes him an ideal option for breaking down defenses and finishing opportunities created by his teammates.
