Pellegatti suggests Milan should try for Zirkzee loan and Man Utd would be willing | OneFootball

Carlo Pellegatti has suggested that AC Milan should try again for Joshua Zirkzee, even claiming that Manchester United might consider letting him go on loan.

In an exclusive back in July we pieced together the full background on the Zirkzee saga and why things turned from looking like he was set to sign for Milan to him ending up at United, and with the Rossoneri signing Alvaro Morata instead.

The main reason behind the U-turn was regarding the commissions that Zirkzee’s entourage were requesting, demands that the Premier League side were more willing to pay while Milan set a more principled stance.

However, fast forward to mid-October and the Dutchman is so far not setting the world alight at Old Trafford. He scored on his debut against Fulham but has not scored since, leading to suggestions a loan might be considered.

Pellegatti spoke on his YouTube channel about the possible moves that the management may make in January and the journalist claimed that a loan move for Zirkzee could be successful.

“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,” he said (via PianetaMilan).

“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.”
