Calciomercato.com talk about the ‘confirmed interest of Milan’ in Zirkzee – who has seven goals and two assists in Serie A so far this season – but there remains only Bayern who do not have to negotiate a transfer fee with Bologna.
Marco Di Vaio spoke during an interview with La Gazzetta dello Sport and he confirmed the presence of a €40m release clause, that applies only to the Bundesliga side.
“The clause? It only applies to Bayern, and it is articulated. For other clubs the price is open, but I haven’t received any phone calls and in any case I wouldn’t answer,” he saud.
While Bayern can bring him back for €40m, the price for other teams is inevitably rising day by day and exceeds the amount for the Bavarians. Everyone has been warned, above all Milan including who have been following him for some time but, for the January mercato, do not have such a large budget to invest.
Serhou Guirassy (€17m release clause) is more within reach and the talks with Bologna for the Dutchman will be postponed to the end of the season when the clubs will also find themselves talking about the future of Alexis Saelemaekers. He is on loan at the Rossoblu with a €10m option to buy.
