Joshua Zirkzee has been heavily linked with a move to AC Milan in recent months as the Rossoneri are looking for a new striker. However, according to a report this morning, Juventus are also keeping tabs on the Dutch striker.
Zirkzee has been one of the main sensations in Serie A this season, with 11 goals and 6 assists in all competitions. Naturally, with Milan looking for a new striker and also expressing an interest in Bologna manager Thiago Motta, Zirkzee has ended up on their radar.
According to Corriere dello Sport, as cited by Calciomercato.com, Milan are not the only ones interested as Juventus brought up the name during a recent meeting with Bayern Munich. The latter have a €40m buy-back clause, as well as a 50% clause of the capital gain, which could be a pretty good deal.
In other words, the German side could sign Zirkzee and then immediately sell him at a higher price, which is most likely why the name was discussed with Juventus. Milan are watching on with great interest but they also have a few other names on their wish list.
Benjamin Sesko (Leipzig) and Santiago Gimenez (Feyenoord) are two of them, as Gazzetta dello Sport recently reported, and it remains to be seen what will happen in the summer.
