DEAL SEALED: AC Milan finally wraps up a €20m deal with Joshua Zirkzee on a four year contract as parties agreement of terms

AC Milan have agreed personal terms with Joshua Zirkzee and are now working to wrap up the entire operation, a report claims, but there is talk of interest from England rumbling in the background.

As the rumors get more intense and his agent continues to take calls, Zirkzee is “confidently awaiting signs” in a week that will define his professional future, according to Calciomercato.com.

Arsenal and Manchester United are reportedly keeping an eye on the progress of the discussions between Milan and the Dutch striker, according to a report from Sky UK. However, given the two Premier League teams have not yet determined on their window approach, no formal bid has been received as of yet.

They are conscious of the fact that Milan is approaching a critical turning point, though. They would only be relevant if Zirkzee made an unexpected U-turn, since he has made it obvious that he would much rather play for the Rossoneri and remain in Serie A.

In the last few hours, Milan have struck the agreement with Zirkzee on the contractual terms. The 23-year-old accepted the offer of a five-year contract at €4m (including bonuses) per season, so now we enter the key phase of the negotiation.

Geoffrey Moncada and Giorgio Furlani hope to lower the commissions owed to Kia Joorabchian even further downwards, which started from an initial monstrous request of €15m. The feeling is that the negotiation could be concluded positively by the middle of this week.
