Man Utd Reach Agreement In Principle With All Parties For £37.5m Transfer

Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag wants to bring  his fellow country-man Bologna striker Joshua Zirkzee to the club in the coming days, according to Corriere di Bologna.

The 23-year-old has been constantly linked with Man Utd over the past few weeks and it is now reported that Ten Hag is pushing to land his Dutch compatriot.

The club have already reached an agreement with his agent over the commission and it is almost certain that the striker will make the switch to Old Trafford this summer.

Bologna are awaiting the final decision from the former Bayern Munich man with the tide already in favour of Manchester United. If he were to move, the club plan to recruit Fotis Ioannidis from Panathinaikos as his replacement.

Joshua Zirzkee release clause became active on July 1st and United are ready to pounce and trigger the release clause beating the Italian giant Ac Milan to his signature.

Zirkzee appears the ideal fit for the manager with his all-round attributes from the striker’s role.

The Dutchman netted 12 goals and provided seven assists last term. He was also impressive with his link-up play, creating 11 big chances over the Serie A campaign.

The Bayern graduate also caught the eye with his quick dribbling and pace on the counter-attack. He was willing to drop into a deeper attacking role when required.

Zirkzee currently has a release clause worth £34m which United are prepared to pay after the on-going Euros 2024 in Germany have been completed.
