Zirkzee has a €40m release clause in his contract with Bologna and is wanted by AC Milan. However, reports in Italy suggest the deal is stalling as Milan refuse to pay an additional €15m in commission to agent Kia Joorabchian.

That delay allowed Man United to make their move and now Zirkzee is very close to Man United .

Ibrahimovic, a senior advisor at AC Milan, said: “I can guarantee that new signings will come. We are discussing. Nothing is finalised at the moment.

Zirkzee is in the past. We have an idea in mind but I won’t say the name. There is a player we are looking at.”

Asked if he was frustrated by Joorabchian’s demands during negotiations for Zirkzee, Ibrahimovic replied: “No. Never. This is part of football. Facts and rumours are two different things.”
