Joshua Zirkzee to Fiorentina: official bid submitted

Joshua Zirkzee is the subject of an official bid from Fiorentina as the Italian club look to sign the striker from Manchester United. The Serie A side have submitted a proposal for a loan deal with a buy clause included, according to Fabrizio Romano. Negotiations are currently underway with both the Premier League club and the Dutch international’s representatives.

The deal is described as being in advanced stages. Fiorentina are pushing to bring the forward back to Italy just months after his move to Old Trafford. The proposal includes a specific loan fee and a future purchase option. This move comes as the Florence-based club reshapes its attacking options during the final days of the transfer window.

The Italian side is managing several outgoings alongside this pursuit. Midfielder Giovanni Fabbian is set to join Parma on a paid loan with a €14m buy option, according to Fabrizio Romano. Meanwhile, Moise Kean is reportedly seeking a move to Como, though Fiorentina are refusing to lower their demands for the striker, according to Get Italian Football News.
