Man United reach agreement with agent and ready to pay release clause of TOP Serie A forward after an impressive season as transfer draws closer

Man United’s deal for Joshua Zirkzee edges closer as club strikes agreement with striker’s agent

Manchester United are said to have reached a principled understanding regarding agency fees.

Zirkzee has been United’s top target at striker in recent days as the team looks to bring in a dependable player to challenge Rasmus Hojlund for a starting berth.

Zirkzee would replace Anthony Martial, who is scheduled to formally leave Old Trafford at the end of this month, and bring quality up front as well.

AC Milan was seen as the clear favorite to sign Zirkee for weeks; in fact, the Serie A team had the player’s approval to go after him.

But Milan’s negotiations to acquire the Netherlands international broke down due to an issue with his

Zirkzee’s representative, Kia Joorabchian, demanded a hefty €15 million sum.

The Rossoneri made it clear they would not fork out such a figure. Joorabchian even slashed his asking price but even then, Milan refused to pay.

This effectively left the door open for United to swoop in for Zirkzee. A recent report covered by The Peoples Person relayed that Joorabchian is prepared to give the Red Devils a huge discount on his commission in order to get his client a switch to Old Trafford.

It’s understood that Joorabchian wants just £8 million from Erik ten Hag’s side.

Journalist Nick Semeraro has given an update on the situation and indicated that there is now an agreement in place between United and Joorabchian over his agent fees.

Semeraro wrote on X (formerly Twitter), “Manchester United have found an agreement in principle with Kia Joorabchian on the payment of commissions.”

“Bologna is aware of the Red Devils’ willingness to pay the clause (as anticipated yesterday). Now it depends on the will of the player, who is currently involved in the European football championships.”

“Despite this, Milan have not changed their position and are confident in the player’s will.”

“Manchester United expected to meet €40m release clause in Bologna forward Joshua Zirkzee’s contract. If they do, it’s up to the player to decide whether he wants to talk. Strong interest remains from other clubs.”
