Joshua Zirkzee, currently with Bologna, has a release clause set at €40 million, applicable to all clubs interested in securing his services. This figure has been consistent since initial reports in December and is not exclusive to his former club, Bayern Munich.
AC Milan is actively pursuing Zirkzee, maintaining regular communication as they navigate through the negotiation process. The interest in the striker is not limited to Milan; several other clubs are also reportedly keen on triggering his release clause.
AC Milan’s Strategic Moves
The pursuit of Zirkzee by AC Milan is part of a broader strategy to strengthen their squad. In April, AC Milan’s CEO openly discussed the ongoing transfer rumours surrounding Zirkzee, highlighting the club’s interest in the player. This transparency indicates a serious intent from Milan’s side to bring Zirkzee into their fold, pending the activation of his release clause.
According to sports journalist Matte Moretto, the negotiations are progressing, with AC Milan waiting for the right moment to make their next move. The situation remains dynamic, with multiple clubs potentially preparing to meet the financial requirements set by Bologna for Zirkzee.
