Last week, Manchester United’s Joshua Zirkzee was linked with a move to Inter Milan, having also been linked to other Serie A clubs in recent months.
The Dutchman came off the bench in the Red Devils’ Europa League final loss to Tottenham on Wednesday, but wasn’t able to change things. He had improved his output for Manchester United before picking up an injury at an unfortunate time.
Corriere dello Sport look at the situation once again today and they are increasingly confident about Inter’s move for the Manchester United forward, with the story featuring on their front page.
Simone Inzaghi’s side want to sign back-up forwards for their front two in the 3-5-2 system and their key targets are Zirkzee and Parma’s Ange-Yoan Bonny.
Corriere dello Sport report Inter have seen enough from Zirkzee’s time at Bologna to attempt an initial loan move for him. They want to add an option to buy in the deal but it could become an obligation to buy, if certain conditions are met.
The belief is that the Netherlands international wants to ‘relaunch’ himself and Manchester United are also open to signing a potential replacement in the summer.
Further optimism is highlighted by the fact that the 24-year-old earns a wage of “only” €3.5m plus bonuses at Old Trafford and Inter can afford to pay that, which will make a move easier for them.
