AC Milan are readying a concrete attempt to sign Joshua Zirkzee, according to Carlo Pellegatti, and they have a card to play in their favour.
It was reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport yesterday that Milan have made Zirkzee their number one target ahead of the summer and it seems that they have a mutual admiration for each other, with the player open to the move.
Milan are working on the deal and they will try, even if the negotiation will be complex. Bologna, when thinking about the asking price, are looking at Rasmus Hojlund’s move to Manchester United for €75m plus €10m in bonuses as the benchmark.
Speaking live on Radio Rossonera, Carlo Pellegatti answered several questions from Milan fans and he gave his take on the latest news that has come out about Zirkzee, including a potential trip to Germany.
“Milan have this card that they hope to play with Bologna: Saelemaekers. We learned that last week there was a blitz, or trip, to Germany by Moncada,” he said.
“Last night they told me that he was in Munich: I rule out that it was to sell Theo, but the reason could be to ask Bayern what their intentions are regarding Zirkzee.
“It may be that he went to ask for this so that the club’s strategies and possible talks with Bologna can continue. I designed this scenario.”
