According to reports, Arsenal is said to have a strong connection with the representative of Bologna forward Joshua Zirkzee as they currently appear to be leading the competition for his signature in the upcoming summer transfer window.
Zirkzee’s impressive performances in Serie A have attracted significant attention, with Tuttomercatoweb suggesting that the Gunners are currently at the forefront of the pursuit.
AC Milan is also keeping an eye on the Dutchman, who is expected to have a price tag of around €50-60 million. Additionally, Bayern Munich has a buy-back option that could allow them to re-acquire him for €40 million, as per the report.
Recently, Manchester United has also been linked with Zirkzee by Calciomercato, adding further intrigue to how this situation will unfold in the coming weeks and months.
Both Arsenal and Manchester United could benefit from securing a forward of Zirkzee’s caliber during the summer transfer window. The Gunners may require a replacement for the injury-prone Gabriel Jesus, while the Red Devils are in need of someone to alleviate the pressure on the currently out-of-form Marcus Rashford.
At present, Arsenal seems to have the upper hand, but it remains to be seen how strong their interest truly is and whether they can meet the €60 million asking price.
