Manchester United are reportedly leading the race to sign Dutch-Nigerian striker Joshua Zirkzee, a talented young player who has been making waves in the football world. The 23-year-old has been impressive for Bologna, helping the team qualify for the UEFA Champions League with his impressive goal-scoring form.
According to report, AC Milan were initially interested in signing Zirkzee but have been put off by the high commission demanded by his agent, Kia Joorabchian. Milan were reportedly willing to pay Zirkzee's release clause, but the agent's €15m commission was deemed too excessive by the Italian giants. Manchester United have taken advantage of this and are now in pole position to sign the striker.
Zirkzee has been deemed a priority target for Manchester United, who are looking to bolster their attacking options for next season. The Red Devils struggled in front of goal last term, and the addition of Zirkzee could provide a much-needed boost to the team's frontline. His pace, skill, and goal-scoring ability make him an attractive prospect for United manager Erik ten Hag.
While Arsenal was also linked to Zirkzee, they appear to be pursuing other options. Manchester United are now in the driver's seat to sign the talented young striker, who could be a valuable addition to their squad.
The transfer window is always full of twists and turns, but it seems likely that Zirkzee will be heading to Old Trafford soon. United fans will be eagerly awaiting the official announcement, hoping that Zirkzee can bring some much-needed firepower to the team's attack.
