According to a rumor, AC Milan and Joshua Zirkzee have reached a personal terms agreement, and they are currently working to finalize the deal. However, there have been rumblings of interest from England.
Zirkzee is “confidently awaiting signs” in a week that will define his professional future, according to Calciomercato.com, as the rumors keep becoming stronger and his agent keeps taking calls.
Manchester United and Arsenal are keeping an eye on the progress of the discussions between Milan and the Dutch striker, according to a report from Sky UK. However, given the two Premier League teams have not yet determined on their window approach, no formal bid has been received as of yet.
They are conscious of the fact that Milan is approaching a critical turning point, though. They would only be relevant if Zirkzee made an unexpected U-turn, since he has made it obvious that he would much rather play for the Rossoneri and remain in Serie A.
Milan and Zirkzee have reached an agreement over the parameters of the deal in the last several hours. We are currently in the crucial stage of the negotiations after the 23-year-old accepted the offer of a five-year contract worth €4 million (bonuses included) per season.
Giorgio Furlani and Geoffrey Moncada want to further reduce the commissions owing to Kia Joorabchian, which began with an outrageous initial request of €15 million. It appears that a positive outcome of the negotiation could be reached by this week’s midpoint.
