As a result, the door has been left wide open for Anderlecht and they are reportedly in discussion with Bayern to wrap up the deal in the near future.

Zirkzee spent the 2020/21 season on loan with Parma where he made four appearances before suffering a long-term ligament injury.

Prior to the move, he made 17 total appearances and has four goals to his name while playing for Bayern Munich from 2019 to 2021.
