Tuttosport: Next 48 hours vital for Milan’s Zirkzee pursuit as Man Utd press | OneFootball

In the run-up to the opening of the mercato, one name has been the focus for AC Milan – Joshua Zirkzee. However, in recent weeks, a move has stalled somewhat, and a report suggests the Rossoneri now have 48 hours to sort a deal.

It feels like Milan have been linked with every name and profile under the sun to replace Olivier Giroud, from a technical tall striker like Benjamin Sesko to powerhouses like Romelu Lukaku. However, the profile of Zirkzee has been preferred for months.

The mercato is never an easy sea to surf, though, especially in the modern day, when prices are so high, and the Rossoneri have been a victim of the money in football. From the player to the club, the Dutchman should join Milan, given he wants the move.

Nevertheless, his agent, Kia Joorabchian, will not allow a move to happen unless the Diavolo pay €15 million in commissions for the deal. Understandably, they are not prepared to do so, so the track has gone cold.

With the mercato now open, Tuttosport (via Milan News) stated there are now 48 hours to get the deal defrosted. Manchester United are pressing for him, which puts pressure on a deal anyway, but Milan cannot be hassled into a deal, and if nothing changes shortly, they may walk away.
