Manchester United have expressed their desire in signing Bologna’s forward Joshua Zirkzee because of loopholes in their attacking force. Still, controversy surrounds the high fee which Zirkzee’s agent wants, of about £12.5 million.
Another demand that has been criticized openly by Youtuber Mark Goldbridge is this one as ‘disgusting’. Now that the summer transfer window is open. United’s coach Erik ten Hag is on the hunt for a player. To fight for the striker position against Rasmus Hojlund.
As Anthony Martial was left from Old Trafford. During the last season having terminated his contract. United is eager for a new player for the next campaign in the 2024/2025 season. Zirkzee is into the spotters’ observation of United. But the long commission taken by the agent might slow down the transfer.

Especially in the current season that saw them drop key targets. Club’s management comes under pressure to make quality and good signings. which can assist the clubs to tilt at titles.
Zirkzee may prove to be a quality addition that would definitely inject new vigor at the front for United. He is young and has scored goals in Italy’s Serie A. Some people think he will have impact when he joins the premier league
However, the Agents in football transfers are still an issue of debate. Though they are invaluable in transactions. The rates that they charge are nowadays a matter of controversy among the supporters and critics. When United have not been able to find a new striker, then the issue on agent fees is expected to prevail.
Zirkzee could land to Old Trafford
Since Zirkzee has been excited to change his team in the subsequent summer window, a team such as Manchester United has been interested in business with the player. Today, Zirkzee’s agent, Kia Joorabchian.
Requesting £12. 5m as the required amount to be paid for the transfer to occur. Especially, The follow clause in Zirkzee’s contract is £34 million, though, total cost can reach £50 million in case acquiring team also has to pay agents’ fees and other relevant costs. With regard to this, the man may have to reduce this fee if indeed Zirkzee is keen on unlocking a new team in the summer.
From the outside, signing Zirkzee may look like a really good investment since it may cost £34 million; still, looking at the total expenses, they will probably reach £50, Manchester United should be less careless.
This partially rationalizes the costs because Zirkzee’s presence might be critical for United due to his youthful stamina and talent for scoring goals that can be translated directly on the football pitch. The financial part has to be discussed by the club’s management along with the sportive assessment for which it is possible to gain in exchange for Zirkzee
