Pedulla: Milan ‘the most active’ in Zirkzee pursuit but huge financial package is needed

AC Milan are in the running to sign Joshua Zirkzee from Bologna but it will take a sizeable economic investment to bring him in, according to one journalist.

According to Alfredo Pedullà (via Radio Rossonera), Milan are that club that are the most interested in Zirkzee, rather than Juventus. However, Bologna’s demands are very high, just as those of his agent Kia Joorabchian are too.

He claims that it will cost around €65-70m to sign Zirkzee this summer, while the salary request presented by the agent is €5m net per season or more, with bonuses on top of that.

Milan, however, do have a stronger interest than Inter and Juventus. He states that the Rossoneri have been the ‘most active’ in their mission to sign him, while Inter appreciate him a lot but it is very difficult to think of them investing that amount to make a new striker.

Meanwhile, Juventus intend to move forward with Dusan Vlahovic and concentrate on the other roles. Pedulla adds that ‘a lot of money is needed’ to sign the former Bayern Munich man, so it remains to be seen whether Milan can put together the kind of package needed to surpass the competition.
