The teams who are interested in Joshua Zirkzee will have to hold off on making a firm move to begin bidding for him. His release clause for €40 million is in effect from July 1 until August 15. Consequently, La Gazzetta dello Sport reports that they have around a month to persuade him to leave Bologna, something he doesn’t seem to be eager to do.
Milan is prepared to challenge the top teams in the Premier League for the Rossoblù star. His asking price is less than that of other purported targets, including Benjamin Sesko and Viktor Gyokeres. However, they must first make peace with the athlete and his entourage.
The initial section could be difficult. Corriere dello Sport (via Tag24) reports that Kia Joorabchian, his agent, is requesting extravagant commissions of €10/15M. Since there is more money to be made in the Premier League, he would love Zirkzee to transfer there.Arsenal is also quite intrigued.
The Dutchman made a suggestion in a recent interview that he would prefer to stick with Bologna. However, he only makes €900k a year, and if he were to join a major league team, his pay would easily triple or even increase. That’s one of the things that makes a target very alluring.
Take on Zirkzee
The fact that the details are being revealed gradually rather than all at once seems a little strange. It’s likely that these tidbits won’t end here, and one has to ask who’s in charge. There’s a potential that Milan won’t approve of the price of the transfer. These days, they are spending a lot of time researching less expensive center-forwards.
