As per the latest reports coming from Italy, Zirkzee is set to leave Bologna to join Man Utd, who have agreed a deal with his agent.
Two days ago, we covered an article via CorSport stating the Premier League side are willing to pay the clause and the agent fees to sign the center forward.

According to a story published by Corriere di Bologna today (news image provided below), the Dutch striker’s move away from the Serie A side is now ‘certain’.
The news source have mentioned that the 23-year-old forward is ‘ready to embrace’ a move to the Red Devils in the summer transfer window.
It is stated that Man Utd have agreed a deal with the agent regarding commissions and have also convinced Zirkzee to come to Old Trafford.
If the former Bayern Munich starlet joins the 20-time English champions, he will be in direct competition for the starting No.9 role against Rasmus Hojlund.
CorBologna claim, United boss, Erik ten Hag, directly contacted his compatriot ‘to overcome’ his resistance to the transfer.
Now, Zirkzee is ready to sign for Man Utd, who already have a ‘respectable attack’.
The youngster is yet to make an appearance for the Netherlands at the Euros and will likely start on the bench again when the Oranje collide against Romania on Tuesday.
Hojlund will soon return for pre-season as Denmark were eliminated from the competition by Germany last night.
Have your say – If Zirkzee joins, should Man Utd start him over Hojlund in the CF role?
