Manchester United could steal Chelsea target by paying €15m agent fee

CaughtOffside understands that AC Milan are indeed still in the race to sign the Bologna forward, despite recent speculation to the contrary. United are also believed to have contacted the Dutchman’s agent and negotiations are currently underway.

While this interest continues, the Red Devils are also assessing the possibility of signing Borussia Dortmund’s Karim Adeyemi as another option to strengthen their forward line.

The situation between AC Milan and Bologna remains unchanged. Rosneri are keen to activate his release clause.

Despite interest from Manchester United and Chelsea, Zirkzee is currently prioritizing a move to Paulo Fonseca’s side.

However, sources close to the matter have revealed that Erik ten Hag’s side have confirmed their interest is firm. Although Premier League clubs are initially focused on the departures of Jadon Sancho and Mason Greenwood before trying to finalize transfers elsewhere.

AC Milan has developed a strategic policy to prevent them from paying high agent fees for transfers. In this case, Milan would lose the deal if another club offered his agent €15 million.
