AC Milan’s pursuit of Joshua Zirkzee might face a significant obstacle due to uncertainties surrounding the activation and expiry of his release clause.
The Rossoneri had planned to trigger the €40 million buyout option to secure the striker from Bologna.
However, complexities have arisen involving the sums payable to the player’s agents.
Moreover, there are concerns about the timing of the release clause. It appears that the activation period for the clause is still under negotiation, which could potentially disrupt Milan’s plans.
A source close to the situation revealed, “The release clause is indeed part of the contract, but its activation depends on several conditions yet to be finalised.”
If the clause falls through, Milan might miss out on acquiring the talented forward, leaving them to explore alternative options.
With the transfer window ticking away, Milan’s management is now under added pressure to resolve the clause issue swiftly.
Fans and analysts alike are eager to see how this saga unfolds in the coming days.
