The domino effect at Manchester United has already begun in the transfer window while the club remains indecisive about their managerial appointment.
Following the loss of Tosin Adarabioyo to Chelsea, and amidst uncertainty regarding their transfer targets and budget, another potential target may slip through their fingers.
AC Milan is reportedly making significant progress in securing Joshua Zirkzee from Bologna, as per TEAMTALK.
Zirkzee has been on United’s radar for a while, and his playing style aligns well with the club’s needs, complementing Rasmus Hojlund.
However, with Zirkzee coming off a stellar season, United would face fierce competition from other top European clubs for his signature.
Yet, the uncertainty regarding their managerial situation hinders the club’s ability to secure such coveted players.
Reports suggest that Milan is not concerned about meeting Zirkzee’s €40 million release clause, which expires on July 1st.
The main negotiation now centers around the agent’s commission, with Kia Joorabchian reportedly seeking over €15 million.
While such demands are common, they can be a stumbling block in finalizing transfers, presenting an opportunity for United if the situation drags on.
If Milan fails to reach a deal by July 1st, the expiration of the release clause could spark a bidding war among interested clubs.
This could pose a challenge for clubs like Milan, who might struggle to match the financial muscle of Premier League clubs.
However, for United to capitalize on this situation, they must first resolve their managerial uncertainty to instill confidence in potential signings.
