Manchester United Sign Dutch Striker Joshua Zirkzee From Bologna
Manchester United signed Netherlands striker Joshua Zirkzee from Bologna in a deal worth a reported 36.5 million pound (46.3 million dollar) on Sunday. Zirkzee agreed a five-year contract with the Premier League club that includes the option of a further 12 months. United reportedly opted to pay slightly more than Zirkzee's 33.6 million pound release clause in order to spread the fee over a three-year period to help with Profit and Sustainability Rules. The 23-year-old rose to prominence in Serie A last season as he helped Bologna unexpectedly qualify for the Champions League.
