CM: Man Utd in regular contact with Zirkzee’s agent – Milan ‘must act fast’ | OneFootball

Manchester United are holding regular talks with Joshua Zirkzee’s agent in the hopes of reaching an agreement on the contract and commissions for the Dutch striker, meaning Milan must act quickly to close a deal.

As highlighted by Calciomercato.com, the Premier League side do appear to be serious about the Dutch forward who is not getting any minutes at Euro 2024 under Ronald Koeman.

The player does not want his future to be finalised until after the tournament, where the Netherlands are set to play England in the round of 16.

Zirkzee was brought in to replace the injured Brian Bobbey after not originally being picked in the squad, but he has not played at all yet with Memphis Depay and Wout Weghorst above him in the pecking order.

Milan have made it clear to Bologna that they will pay the €40m release clause on July 1, whilst Man Utd have been more focused on striking a deal with agent Kia Joorabchian who wants €15m in commissions.

That figure is far too high as far as Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Geoffrey Moncada and Giorgio Furlani are concerned. Milan are still the favoured choice for the player, but if Man Utd make headway with the agent then the situation could get away from the Rossoneri.
