Jacobs: Man Utd overtake Milan in Zirkzee pursuit with €10m commission discussed | OneFootball

Man Utd have seemingly accelerated their pursuit of Joshua Zirkzee and while there is no final agreement, this is bad news for AC Milan. According to a report, they appear willing to pay the high commission requested.

Milan have been working on the signing of Zirkzee for several months, but due to a high commission request from his agent, the negotiations have hit a statement. By the looks of it, Man Utd have now overtaken the Rossoneri in the race.

According to the reliable journalist Ben Jacobs, Man Utd are willing to pay the €40m release clause to Bologna and they have been in direct contact with agent Kia Joorabchian. The commission request is set at around €10m and the English side, unlike Milan, could pay this.

Zirkzee has made it clear that he will make a decision after the Euros, which hasn’t exactly helped Milan in their pursuit of his signature. The striker was asked about the possibility of staying in Italy last night and simply said “I don’t know, we will see”.

In any case, they might have to turn elsewhere and it seems they already have, initiating talks with the entourage of Alvaro Morata. After the Euros, the situation will be clearer.
