Italian journalist Carlo Pellegatti has advised AC Milan to try and sign Joshua Zirkzee on loan in January after the Dutch striker failed to impress at Manchester United, who beat them to his signature in a €42.5 million deal in the summer.
Milan failed in their attempt to sign the striker from Bologna in the summer due to the disagreement on the commission demanded by the player’s entourage. They went on to sign Alvaro Morata while Zirkzee moved to Manchester United.

Zirkzee had a debut to remember at Manchester United, when he came off the bench to net the club’s only goal in a 1-0 win away to Fulham on the opening day of the Premier League. However, since then he has failed to live up to expectations.

Speaking via PianetaMilan, Pellegatti said;
“You have to sign Zirkzee in January. Here’s why: they don’t even want to see him anymore in Manchester. He was terrible against Aston Villa. Zirkzee had made it clear that he wasn’t ready for the Premier League, he wanted Milan, then the whole story of the commissions,”
“Today Zirkzee is an uncomfortable player. Allow me to say, I would like the management to pull a coup. Zirkzee should be signed on loan in January, they’ll give him to you. Next year there will still be some things to see in attack.
“Let’s leave Morata up front. Think of an attack with Pulisic, Leao, Zirkzee and Morata. Spectacle. We would return to San Siro and have fun. With Zirkzee the enthusiasm would return to the fans. These are proud moves that are worthy of Milan.”
