Joshua Zirkzee is attracting a lot of attention. After a standout season, culminating in Bologna's qualification for the Champions League for the first time in nearly 60 years, the Dutch center forward has caught the eye of many Italian and Premier League clubs for next season, including AC Milan.
The Rossoneri started following him since before he joined Parma on loan from Bayern Munich at a young age. Today, there is news that could change the scenario and approach of potential negotiations.
Until now, it was believed that Zirkzee's performances triggered a 40 million euros clause valid only for Bayern Munich. This summer, the Bavarians could either recall the Dutchman for this amount or decide to leave him at Bologna, receiving 45% or slightly less of a future resale if the Rossoblù chose to sell him.
As per what is reported by the Italian newspaper Corriere dello Sport, the 40 million euros clause is reportedly valid for all clubs. If this is confirmed, new opportunities could arise for all teams looking to sign the Bologna center forward. Milan is also among those interested, seeking a replacement for Olivier Giroud, who will depart at the end of the season for a new experience in the MLS with LA FC.
Bayern Munich, with Harry Kane and the recently renewed young talent Mathys Tel, does not need a new striker. The Bavarians could decide to leave Zirkzee in Italy and wait for Bologna to decide what to do, or they could recall Zirkzee by paying the 40 million euros release clause and then sell his card again, as relayed via Milan News.
