Report: Spurs accepted to pay £60m to sign 22-year-Celtic ballmaker to reunite with Ange Postecoglou

According to the print edition of Corriere dello Sport (as relayed by Sport Witness), Bologna are expected to demand a huge fee for Joshua Zirkzee as Tottenham and AC Milan circle over the centre-forward.

Since moving from Bayern Munich to Bologna, Zirkzee has been a huge success in Serie A.

This season, he has scored 11 goals and supplied six assists in all competitions (Transfermarkt).

Numerous Italian publications have stated throughout the past month that Tottenham

is closely monitoring the Dutchman’s development in front of the summer transfer season.

Prior to the summer transfer season, Corriere has identified Milan and Spurs as the two main candidates for Zirkzee’s signature.

According to the source, Ange Postecoglou’s team is looking for a top-tier player to replace Harry Kane,

and the Serie A star seems to fit the criteria.

According to the article, Zerkzee has a buy-back clause worth €40 million (£34.3 million) with Bayern.

If this clause is not activated, Bologna may ask for between €60 and €70 million (£51.4 and £60 million) for the player.

According to the report, Tottenham has a “strong interest” in the striker, and if more Premier League teams decide to bid for him

the price may increase even more.

Clubs are in for a major shock if they anticipate Premier League teams to continue spending as much money this summer as they have in recent years.

 

The days of English teams shelling out over £50 million for each Tom, Dick

, and Harry are now a thing of the past as the PSR regulations are being properly enforced.

If someone were to pay more than £35–40 million for Zirkzee, I’d be shocked.
