According to reports, Manchester United have moved one step closer to signing Netherlands and Bologna striker Joshua Zirkzee after agreeing personal terms.
The Red Devils are keen on bolstering their centre-forward department this summer following the departure of Anthony Martial on a free transfer.
Zirkzee has been identified as the priority target for the Red Devils and sources told Footyvaild that the club now have an agreement over personal terms with the Dutchman.
United can sign the 23-year-old by triggering his £34 million release clause, but they prefer to negotiate payment terms with Bologna to avoid paying the fee in one go.
It’s also said that the striker is prepared to rebuff any offer from Arsenal as he has prioritised a move to the Red Devils this summer.
Arsenal have also been credited with an interest in the Dutchman, but it seems Zirkzee has been convinced to join the Red Devils which is a huge positive. The fans should be delighted by the same.
United are not in the Champions League next season, but they continue to remain a lucrative destination for emerging stars.
As things stand, Zirkzee could become United’s first signing of the summer transfer window, provided the club can speed up negotiations with Bologna.
