Man Utd are ‘ever closer’ to Dutch striker, Joshua Zirkzee, as per the latest rumors reported in the Italian media today.
According to a story published by Corriere dello Sport (news image provided below), Bologna have given an ultimatum to the center forward.
The Rome based media outlet have mentioned that the Rossoblu want to avoid what happened with coach, Thiago Motta, and are already thinking about a replacement.
CorSport claim Man Utd are ‘ever closer’ to Zirkzee and are ready to sign the player by paying £46m, inclusive of transfer fees and agent commission, ‘without any problem’.
To replace the Netherlands forward, Bologna have targeted the arrival of Greek striker, Foris Ioannidis, from Panathinaikos.
It is stated that if technical director, Giovanni Sartori, signs a forward and two days later, Zirkzee says he wants to stay, then it would be a problem for Bologna.
Therefore, they want his future resolved at the earliest.
For his personal development, CdS claim it would be better to stay in Italy for another season, and that is his preference.
In the Serie A, Zirkzee would be remain a regular starter, however, at Man Utd, he can face ‘very fierce competition’.
At the moment, he is already dealing with immense competition for the national side, and is still searching for his debut after warming the bench in the three group games at the Euros.
