MN: Zirkzee to Milan ‘one step away’ – deal could be done ‘in the next few hours’

By Oliver Fisher -

AC Milan are now ‘one step away’ from signing Joshua Zirkzee and they could have everything wrapped up within the next day, according to a report.

On his X account, Antonio Vitiello has provided the following update: ‘Milan-Zirkzee, the finish line one step away. Latest positive contacts and rapprochement on commissions. Milan ready to seal the signing’.

In an update on MilanNews, Vitiello also writes that Milan are ‘ready to conclude’ the Zirkzee operation. The Rossoneri management ahve had positive contacts with the Dutchman’s entourage and will soon find an economic agreement on commissions. This has always been the main obstacle.

Zirkzee’s agent had started with a request of €15m but now the gap has been reduced and the parties are closer. Milan are ‘optimistic and confident’ of completing the deal positively in the ‘next few hours’ and bringing a new No.9 for the incoming head coach Paulo Fonseca.

With the player, meanwhile, there is already an agreement on the figures and duration of his contract. In addition to that, the report adds that the €40m transfer fee – as dictated by the release clause – will be paid at the appropriate time.

Reading between the lines, we can infer that it will be paid on July 1, which is the day that the clause officially becomes active.

  1. ” Milan are ‘optimistic and confident’ of completing the deal positively in the ‘next few hours’ and bringing a new No.9 for the incoming head coach Paulo Fonseca.”
    Meaningless stuff and meaningless article. We either reached an agreement or we didn’t.

    1. We have agreement with the player, we don’t need agreement with Bologna as long as we pay the release clause. All that’s left is Joorabchian.

  2. Lets remain calm and wait until official confirmation. We all know what happened last year with Thuram. So calm down..

    1. Thuram was not a target until the last minute, after he had already agreed terms with Inter. This is completely different.

  3. This management often reach good results in short time. They don’t mess around ! We also need 1 central striker ( physically powerful ) so in this case I would recommend LUKAKU. I would keep JOVIC..he is a strong player, a bad guy and we need bad guys too…we can’t be too gentle after we almost 6 times in a row against inter.

    1. Lakaka have salary 12m euro nett at chelsea. That can pay leao + theo salary. Lakaka need to reduce his salary to half if you want him join ACM

  4. I hope he could be a 20 goals or more kind of striker. But they said Zirkzee will multiply number of goals created by Leao, Pulisic, Chuk, Okafor, Jovic, let’s see how it goes..

  5. Milan should just add Amrabat, Torino’s captain and Fafana to this achievement see how deadly Milan would become next season
