Milan nearing move for Bolognaโ€™s Joshua Zirkzee

Serie A outfits Milan set to trigger Bologna forward Joshua Zirkzeeโ€™s release clause and the deal is edging closer.

According to a tweet by Fabrizio Romano, Milan have informed league counterparts Bologna that they will activate Joshua Zirkzeeโ€™s buyout clause which is set at โ‚ฌ40 million soon.ย 

The Rossoneri struggled with finding a good forward during these last few seasons and finally, they are going to land a proven young striker in their ranks.ย 

Talks are currently ongoing between Milan and the Dutchmanโ€™s entourage to agree on personal terms. It is expected to be completed this week after which he will sign the contract.ย 

The 23-year-old emerged as a revelation for Bologna last season as he performed exceptionally well, scoring 11 goals and recording four assists while helping the Rossoblu to qualify for the Champions League.ย 

Milan were exploring a loan deal for Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku but that interest might have taken a back seat as they are now set to sign Zirkzee on a permanent transfer for their new project.ย
