AC Milan are keen on Joshua Zirkzee. He is a talented player who is on the radar of several clubs besides the Rossoneri. But, it seems that the Italians are ahead in the race, despite the interest from Manchester United.
To talk about this matter, Fabrizio Romano said these words to Playback:
"I can confirm Manchester United is just asking how is the situation of Joshua Zirkzee, in terms of salary, in terms of release clause, how to activate it, how does it work with Bologna? 40 million euros, remember. So, Man Utd, after the Sesko story started asking for information about Joshua Zirkzee. But, we have to mention today again that Milan are the absolute front runners, because Milan have an agreement on the salary with the player for less than 4 million euros addons included, as part of the deal. So, the salary is ready, the contract is ready. The player is excited about staying in Italy and joining in AC Milan. Milan have started working on this deal months ago, not today, not yesterday, not last week. He was always the top target. We saw the Benjamin Sesko rumours: never close, never concrete. We saw many strikers linked with a Milan move, the top target has always been Joshua Zirkzee. But now, it's about closing the deal. Milan have to be fast if they want to make it happen because some other clubs can also activate the option for Zirkzee. But, Milan are the absolute front runners, let me say that once again and they have the possibility to close the deal with the player's side because they are discussing the commissions, the details of the deal with the player's side. So, it's on Milan now. Man Utd asked for information in recent days as the Telegraph reported tonight. But, I think in the Zirkzee story , it will be crucial to understand in the next days because Milan have a 'Matchpoint', I would say in this story."
