Arsenal and Manchester United are both vying for the signature of Joshua Zirkzee from Bologna, with AC Milan also interested in the forward. Zirkzee has been a standout player for Bologna this season under Thiago Motta, helping the team secure a fifth-place finish in Serie A and qualification for the Champions League next season.
The success of Bologna has attracted interest from top clubs across Europe, with Juventus securing deals with head coach Motta and defender Riccardo Calafiori. With a €40m release clause in his contract, Zirkzee could be another player that Bologna may struggle to hold onto.
AC Milan has expressed interest in signing Zirkzee but could face competition from Manchester United and Arsenal. Both clubs are in need of a center-forward this summer, and Zirkzee’s impressive performances in Italy have caught their attention. The 22-year-old was named the best young player of Serie A for 2023-24 and led all center-forwards in successful take-ons.
Despite his success, Zirkzee missed out on a place in the Netherlands squad for Euro 2024. He has scored seven goals in 19 appearances for the U-21 side but has not been capped at the senior level yet. It remains to be seen where Zirkzee will end up this summer, but he is certainly a player in demand.
