Manchester United is close to completing a 33.7m deal to sign Joshua Zirkzee from Bologna, willing to pay a premium for extended payment terms. The club aims to comply with Profit and Sustainability Rules and manage transfer activities cautiously.
Long-serving forward Anthony Martial departed, leading new signing Rasmus Hojlund to carry the striking load. Hojlund's struggles resulted in him losing his place to Bruno Fernandes in a different role during the FA Cup final victory.
Zirkzee's successful season with Bologna, securing a Champions League spot, contrasts with his limited playing time in the Netherlands Euro 2024 squad. Despite limited appearances, his talent is drawing interest from top clubs like Manchester United.
Zirkzee's journey from Feyenoord to Bologna via Bayern Munich hints at his potential and the substantial growth in his market value, making him an attractive signing option for clubs like Manchester United, grappling with forward line issues.
