This season, Bologna has been one of the standout teams in Serie A, thanks in part to the impressive performances of forward Joshua Zirkzee. With his excellent play under coach Thiago Motta, Bologna finished in fifth place and qualified for the Champions League next season. As a result, top clubs across Europe are taking notice of Zirkzee’s talent.
One of those clubs is AC Milan, which has expressed interest in signing the young Dutchman. However, Manchester United and Arsenal are also reportedly interested in Zirkzee’s services. Both clubs are looking to add a center-forward to their roster this summer, and Zirkzee’s successful track record in Italy has caught their eye.
Zirkzee has had an outstanding 2023-24 campaign with Bologna, scoring seven goals in just 19 appearances while leading all center-forwards in successful take-ons. Despite this success, he missed out on a place on the Netherlands squad for Euro 2024. However, he remains highly sought after by clubs across Europe due to his impressive performances and relatively low release clause of €40m.
It remains to be seen where Zirkzee will end up this summer, but one thing is clear: he is a player that many top clubs will be vying for his signature.
