Joshua Zirkzee has grabbed attention from far and wide for his growth at Bologna, most recently earning plaudits from Milan icon Arrigo Sacchi. The Dutch forward was linked to Milan earlier last week as Olivier Giroud’s potential successor, but a background reveal has disclosed that he was closest to moving to The Netherlands in the summer window.
Tuttomercatoweb‘s journalist Marco Conterio has revealed Dutch giants Ajax made a move, only to be denied by Bologna. His most recent goal against Inter at San Siro has stirred up reports and rumors surrounding his future, with a host of clubs now being linked with his potential services in the future.
The 2024 summer transfer market could possibly draw back the attention of Ajax to make an effort for Zirkzee’s services, and Scudetto holders Napoli are also said to be highly interested.
Bologna signed Zirkzee on a permanent deal from Bayern Munich following loan spells at Parma and Anderlecht, with his tenure in Belgium really bringing out the best in him.
Our take on the future of Zirkzee
Having played the role of deputy Marko Arnautovic in his first season, Zirkzee was impressive towards the business end of 2022/23. However, he has taken it up a notch this campaign under Thiago Motta, already scoring one more than the entirety of last season.
