Zirkze has been AC Milan's top target up front this summer and is seen by the Rossoneri management as the most suitable successor to Olivier Giroud's departure. The 23-year-old Dutchman has exploded in his career just over the season, making 37 appearances for Bologna in all competitions, starting 33 of them, and registering an efficient record of 12 goals and six assists.

Bologna are well aware that they cannot keep the player and can take him away as long as a team is willing to match the liquidated damages worth around €40 million in Zirkze's contract. According to Italian media reports, AC Milan management Ibrahimovic and Moncada have already informed the Bologna club that they are willing to activate the buy-out clause of the player's contract directly and allow him to switch to the San Siro Stadium for the new season.

In an interview with the media, Zirkze has expressed his desire to stay in Serie A and has welcomed the offer from AC Milan. And there are not too many differences between the two sides on the salary package and the length of the contract, and they have basically agreed on a contract that is close to 4 million euros, including bonuses.

The deal seems to be going well, but until now it has not been finalized. The key factor is the attitude of his agent, Horabuchin, who wants a commission return of up to €15 million, while the Rossoneri are only willing to pay a maximum of €10 million, and are in a difficult situation on all fronts.

If all parties fail to agree on this, the deal cannot be ruled out as an outright collapse, as Zirkze has also received an olive branch from the Premier League. Since Dutchman Erik ten Hag confirmed that he will remain at Manchester United for the next season, he has been working on the team's recruitment in the summer.

He is also very optimistic about his compatriot Zirkze, and has recently asked about the details of the player's transfer. He is considered to be a perfect complement to the Danish rising star Hojlund, who landed at Old Trafford last summer for more than €70 million, and can also rotate with him if necessary.

Zirkze's agility and creativity are admired by the Red Devils, with his excellent ball control, passing vision and breakthrough ability to play an important role up front, whether it's creating chances up front or finishing the final blow himself, helping to make the attacking side more versatile and diverse.

With AC Milan owners RedBird Group's transfer plans, they are clearly not going to be involved in the bidding process, and if United can match the Italian's asking price and meet the demands of his agent, the Rossoneri will likely have to look for other suitable candidates in the transfer market. Ibrahimovic and Moncada have not put all their resources into Zirkze alone, with transfer expert Di Marzio revealing they have made new contact with Ukraine international Dovbik.

Last season's La Liga Golden Boot winner, who currently plays for Girona, is a more traditional centre-forward with 24 goals and 10 assists in his first year in the top five leagues. Although he is older than Zirkze, the transfer price and negotiation difficulty will be lower, which is also a reasonable reinforcement option.
