AC Milan wants to acquire the services of Joshua Zirkzee, the 23-year-old striker who made his name in Serie A already. The management has been working on it for months. Negotiations between the parties have been ongoing for weeks, with ups and downs, but recently there has been growing confidence in concluding the deal positively.
The negotiation hinges on the commissions destined for the Dutch player's agent. The initial demand is extremely high, at 15 million euros, but recent efforts have been aimed at lowering Kia Joorabchian's expectations. The goal is to bring the commission well below 10 million euros. After all, the club's policy has always been to avoid paying high commissions in the past, as pointed out by Antonio Vitiello for Milan News.
Regarding the 40 million euro release clause: Milan had already planned to pay this amount in their attempt to secure Zirkzee. It is the starting point of the entire operation. The Rossoneri do want to make this significant signing for the attack, as the club's strategy has always been clear: they will invest in the squad and players rather than on the coach.
