Joshua Zirkzee from Bologna has signed with the Red Devils after multiple rounds of negotiations. It was far from an easy path to bring Joshua Zirkzee to Old Trafford. At first, it appeared like the Dutch striker was meant to join AC Milan. Personal agreements had been reached, and the Serie A team was ready to trigger his €40 million release clause. But the plan backfired, allowing Manchester United to intervene. After negotiating conditions with Bologna, they decided against paying the €40 million release clause in one installment and instead paid €42.5 million over three years.
Joshua Zirkzee and Manchester United have now agreed to a five-year deal, with a one-year option. He joins the team's attacking lineup at age 23, bringing with him his talent, and a bright future. He is a great addition as Ten Hag continues to reassemble and bolster the team.
