Joshua Zirkzee is struggling a bit for form at the moment but he remains one of the most talked about players looking ahead to the summer transfer window.
He has eight goals and four assists this season across league and cup, which has attracted the attention of a number of different clubs who want a new striker ahead of the 2024-25 campaign.
According to Calciomercato.com, Milan are among the biggest admirers of Zirkzee given their desire to invest in the No.9 of the future, but they face strong competition to land him.
Bologna paid Bayern Munich €8.5m to sign the Dutchman in the summer of 2022 but today he has a significantly higher market value and the Rossoblù club is confident that an international auction will break out to raise his price tag.
Sky Germany are reporting that Manchester United want Zirkzee, having already signed a striker from Serie A before in Rasmus Hojlund who they bought for €75m plus €10m in bonuses.
Positive scouting reports led to the first contacts and the mission is on to try overcome the competition, which as mentioned is represented by Milan.
They still don’t know if Olivier Giroud will renew, while one of the ideas is to hire Thiago Motta as head coach which would obviously make the pursuit of Zirkzee seem even more attractive.
Attention must then be paid to Bayern Munich because they can buy the 22-year-old back for €40m. As per Sky Germany, the Bundesliga champions are observing the situation but at the moment are not inclined to make a move.
The alternative option of waiting for the proceeds from the future profits – of which they are entitled to 40% – is more appealing, especially given he will likely fetch €50m or more.
