However, the Rome based news source have mentioned that if Bologna receive offers of more than £34m than the Bavarians will have to match the figures to get him back.
CdS claim that in the Premier League, the Red Devils and Arsenal have set their sights on signing Zirkzee from the Serie A side.
It is stated that Man Utd have already informed Bologna they are ready to ‘guarantee’ a fee of more than the £34m valuation of the termination clause to sign the forward.
Even the Gunners are willing to offer more than the clause to lure the 22-year-old from the Italian side. So, it could be an intriguing battle between the PL giants.
In the current campaign, so far, Zirkzee has directly contributed in 9 goals in 18 starts in the Serie A for the Rossoblu.
Tonight, we can expect him to start at the San Siro against, AC Milan, who are also looking to secure his signature.
