Gianluca di Marzio has revealed that there is a possibility of Bologna striker Joshua Zirkzee joining a Premier League club in the summer.
Zirkzee has been sparkling for Thiago Motta’s Bologna, showing his range of capabilities on and off the ball. In 19 Serie A games, the Dutchman has scored seven times and has two assists but his skillset goes beyond simply scoring or assisting as he has earned a reputation as a complete striker.
Gianluca di Marzio recently spoke to SoccerNews and he spoke about the future of Zirkzee, revealing that Serie A or the Premier League will be his next destinations and Milan see him as a key target for the summer.
He said: “Is his market value €35 million? No, I think it is more. He has a release clause in his contract worth €50 million. And Bayern Munich have the option to bring him back for 50 percent of that amount. He is a key target for AC Milan, and I think he will soon move to an Italian top club or maybe the Premier League.”
Bologna boss Thiago Motta has been linked with a move to Milan, where Stefano Pioli’s future is far from certain amidst what has been an underwhelming season. Di Marzio stated that there is a possibility that Motta could take Zirkzee with him to Milan in the summer.
He said: “He is so strong, and has so many qualities. In Serie A, he is the striker who leaves the best impression in Italy after Lautaro MartĂnez. Thiago Motta is in a list to become the coach of Milan, and Motta and Zirkzee have been in contact; maybe he will take him with him if he’ll join Milan.”
Manchester United have also been linked with a move for the 22-year-old and it remains to be seen how the striker’s future pans out.
