At Erik ten Hag’s request, Manchester United’s negotiations with Joshua Zirkzee are proceeding. The Bologna star has not yet finalized his personal terms with the Red Devils, but sources close to CaughtOffside claim that he is impressed with the club’s level of interest. In order to complete the signing of the Dutch striker, the Europa League team is rumored to want to have additional discussions with him this month.
There are rumours that Liverpool may overtake Manchester United in the competition to capture Joshua Zirkzee from Bologna. The new Reds head coach, Arne Slot, has a lot of respect for the forward. However, it is anticipated that Man Utd will activate Zirkzee’s £34 million contract release clause. Following the Netherlands’ Euro 2024 campaign, it is anticipated that he will make a choice regarding his future.
Man Utd transfer plan is in trouble as Arne Slot plot could steal their target
Erik ten Hag would love to bring the Dutch striker to Manchester United, as insiders have confirmed to TEAMtalk. The striker has been strongly connected to the team in recent weeks. One obstacle to a contract is that Kia Joorabchian, Zirkzee’s agent, is asking for a substantial €15 million (£12.6 million) incentive for any agreement involving the player this summer.
With Slot looking to recruit a new striker this summer, Liverpool is prepared to sabotage the deal if Man United and the Serie A striker are unable to come to an agreement. Given his interest in Zirkzee, Slot may not be quite satisfied with his current striker, Darwin Nunez.
