Milan, Zirkzee track getting colder: surprise option from Serie A pops up
Milan, pops up a surprise option for the attack
After several weeks of contacts, the negotiation between Milan and Joshua Zirkzee reportedly stalled due to the high fees demanded by the player's agent Kia Joorabchian (15 million euros). In the last few days, in fact, the Rossoneri club, in addition to trying to lower the demands of the Dutchman's attorney, would have already begun to evaluate alternative profiles, including one from Serie A.
According to a report by "Tuttosport", Roma reportedly offered the meneghini Tammy Abraham for a sum of around 25 million euros plus bonuses, as the English center forward would have been excluded from Daniele De Rossi’s technical project.
At AC Milan, the player could reunite with some of his old teammates from his Chelsea days and the possibility of taking advantage of the Decreto Crescita to cover the 4.5 million euros per season salary could be another positive factor for the Rossoneri. For the Milanese club, however, the player would not be a priority target because of his fragility at the physical level.
In the coming days, the executives of the "Diavolo" should re-establish relations with Zirkzee's entourage to try to definitively unblock the negotiation and avoid the overtaking of Manchester United, which in these hours would have intensified contacts.
