Manchester United and Bologna are on the verge of concluding negotiations for the transfer of Joshua Zirkzee. United have already agreed personal terms with the Dutch forward and now face a decision on how to finalise the €40 million deal.

Transfer Options

The Premier League club can either:

  • Trigger the €40 million release clause in a single payment
  • Negotiate new terms, considering Bologna owes 50% of the transfer fee to Bayern Munich

Background

Recent developments have seen United receive the green light from both Zirkzee and Matthijs de Ligt, with the club having been in talks with Zirkzee’s agent since early July. The 22-year-old forward, who has previously played for Bayern Munich, is known for his physical presence and goal-scoring ability.

Next Steps

A decision is expected shortly, as both clubs aim to finalise the transfer ahead of the new season.
