Despite Juventus’ interest, it appears like AC Milan will be the team to sign Joshua Zirkzee, signaling the slow but steady end of the transfer race. Juve wanted Zirkzee to join Thiago Motta at Bologna after he had a strong season with the team.
The Brazilian-Italian will become the Bianconeri’s next manager, and a few of his Bologna players may follow him to Turin, according to an agreement made. Juve is getting close to signing Riccardo Calafiori, and they also had plans to sign Zirkzee. However, according to a Tuttomercatoweb story, AC Milan is leading the chase for the Dutchman. According to the report, Milan is ready to fulfill his 40 million euro release clause; the agency fees are the only sticking point. An important problem for AC Milan is that Zirkzee’s representative is requesting roughly 15 million euros in fees to facilitate the sale. Since Milan views him as their top summer target, the issue is anticipated to be resolved.
Juve FC Says
Zirkzee did well at Bologna last season, but our current squad has too many attackers, and we need to offload some before signing a new one.
Zirkzee will be a good signing, but he is not better than Dusan Vlahovic or Federico Chiesa.
