Man Utd ‘AGREE Joshua Zirkzee transfer but could renegotiate deal structure due to Bayern Munich clause’
MANCHESTER UNITED are reportedly close to sealing a deal to sign Joshua Zirkzee.
The Red Devils are hoping to add to their attacking options this summer transfer window, and the Dutchman is a top target.
Man United have agreed terms with the striker but are yet to decide on how to structure a deal with Bologna.
Fabrizio Romano reported that the terms have been sorted out between Zirkzee and the club.
He also claimed that Man United need to decide on paying his £34million release clause.
It is suggested that the club could negotiate new terms with the Serie A side over the structure of the deal.
This means that the Old Trafford side could try to spread the cost of the transfer over multiple years rather than pay the full fee immediately.
New terms could be preferred by Bologna as they owe 50 per cent of the transfer fee to Bayern Munich.
This is due to a sell-on clause inserted in his contract when he left the Bundesliga giants in 2022.
Zirkzee has attracted plenty of interest in the recent months following his impressive season in Italy.

The Dutch international has also been linked with the likes of Arsenal, Bayern and AC Milan.
However, it appears that a move to Old Trafford is the most likely destination for the 23-year-old.
Bologna have previously confirmed that he is “99.9 per cent certain to leave” the club this summer.
He is currently in Germany after being handed a late call-up to the Netherlands squad for Euro 2024.
His call came after Frenkie de Jong‘s injury, which saw him ruled out of the tournament.
He will be in the Oranje squad when they face off against England in the semi-finals on Wednesday evening.
