The dominoes around Manchester United have already started to fall in the transfer window, but the club is stuck on a managerial decision.
After losing Tosin Adarabioyo to Chelsea, and uncertainty over which target to go for and how much to pay, they could lose another target.
TEAMTALK reports that AC Milan have made decisive moves in recent weeks to secure Joshua Zirkzee from Bologna.
Zirkzee has long been touted as a target for United and his playing profile suits the club very well as he has the ability to play alongside him as well as in place of Rasmus Hojlund.
However, as the player enters the best season of his career, United were always going to have to fight off other European heavyweights to secure his signature.
Of course, this cannot be done when the identity of the person in charge of selecting players on match day is unclear.
The report states that Zirkzee’s €40 million release clause, which expires on July 1, is not seen as a problem by the Italian club.
The only thing that remains to be negotiated is the commission for the player’s agent, Kia Joorabchian, who is asking for more than 15 million euros.
It is not unusual for agents to demand exorbitant commissions when they know that the transfer fee does not reflect the quality of the player.
However, that demand could still deter clubs from making a move when United could enter any potential race.
If Milan are unable to negotiate a mutually acceptable figure by July 1, then the release clause will expire, opening the race.
That will hurt clubs like Milan, who can’t afford to spend the same money as Premier League riches.
However, to do this, United first need to make a decision on their manager because no player will trust any sporting project until there is a manager at the helm.
