Manchester United pursues striking brilliance with move for Joshua Zirkzee
Manchester United is supposedly interested in acquiring prolific Dutch attacker Joshua Zirkzee from Serie A side Bologna. According to recent media reports, the Red Devils have stepped up their efforts to sign the former Bayern Munich striker.
According to Sport1, first revealed Manchester United’s interest in Zirkzee, citing the forward’s estimated market value of £26 million (30 million euros). However, Calcio Mercato journalist Eleonora Trotta has revealed a major stumbling block in the negotiations, stating that the player’s contract includes a 40 million euro release clause.
Zirkzee, 22, has been an outstanding performer for Bologna this season, appearing in 16 games across all competitions and directly contributing to 12 goals (8 goals and 4 assists). Manchester United have taken notice of the young Dutch talent’s amazing form, causing them to actively chase his signature.
Manchester United is looking to strengthen their strike-force with Rasmus Hojlund struggling to make an impact in the Premier League and Anthony Martial rated past his peak. The need to enhance their attacking substitutes is made clear by Hojlund’s recent goal-scoring breakthrough in his 15th Premier League game.
As the Red Devils negotiate their complex situation, the question arises: Should Manchester United make a decisive step by providing £26 million to sign the talented Joshua Zirkzee? Only time will tell whether this potential signing will be the key to unlocking Manchester United’s attacking brilliance in the competitive Premier League setting.
