Manchester United has not made any formal contact with Bologna for their Dutch striker Joshua Zirkzee.
The Red Devils are understood to be interested in the 23-year-old, who has been heavily linked with a move to Milan this summer.
Calciomercato.com’s Daniele Longo writes that the Premier League giants are looking to sign a striker who has similar characteristics to their current number nine, Rasmus Hojlund, but have not notified Bologna to inform them if they are willing to meet their €40M release clause.
Longo however, claims that contact could be made next week with the player currently representing the Netherlands at Euro 2024, but that Milan remains in pole-position to grab his signature.
Zirkzee’s agent, Kia Joorabchian, has courted controversy by reportedly wanting a 15 per cent commission in any potential sale.
The Rossoneri have already agreed to the the release clause, but are not willing to pay Joorabchian the percentage he expects.
