AC Milan have got a major advantage over the likes of Bayern Munich and Premier League teams when it comes to trying to sign Bologna striker Joshua Zirkzee this summer, a report claims.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport (via Pianeta Milan), the Dutch striker is still one of Milan’s primary targets for the summer transfer window as they seek a new striker, and they may have an easier job convincing him to join than other clubs would.
This is because Zirkzee is keen to actually remain in Italy this summer, rather than take what is seen to be a very risky jump to the Premier League at the age of 22.
Bayern Munich are in the frame and have some financial advantages thanks to their deal to sell him to Bologna in the first place like the €40m buy-back clause, but with Harry Kane at the club, there is less scope for minutes with the Bavarian side compared to Milan.
Olivier Giroud is out of contract this summer, as is Luke Jovic, although his future is more unsure. Whilst both could find themselves with new deals before the season is over, there is a position to claim there and Zirkzee has been scoring plenty of goals for the Rossoblu.
