Manchester United are plotting a move for Bologna striker Joshua Zirkzee, who is available for a modest fee due to a release clause in his contract
Joshua Zirkzee has emerged as a serious transfer target for Manchester United, with the club reportedly set to trigger the £33.8million release clause in the striker’s contract.
The Red Devils are hoping for incomings and outgoings in the summer transfer window, which is set to be the first one overseen by part-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Ineos. And transfer activity is already starting to ramp up after the club’s top brass finally gave Erik ten Hag clarity over his future last week.
It’s understood that the club are keen to bring in attacking reinforcements to support Rasmus Hojlund, who endured a challenging start to his maiden season in the Premier League. And while United have other targets, Zirkzee seems like the chosen one.
As revealed by The Telegraph, United have ‘serious interest’ in bringing the Bologna striker to Old Trafford, with the report going on to claim that the club are ‘preparing’ to trigger the release clause in the 23-year-old’s contract after entering into talks with the player’s camp.
