Joshua Zirkzee

Joshua Zirkzee's transfer from Bologna to Manchester United in July 2024 was for a reported €42.5 million. More recently, in April 2026, reports were mixed, with some suggesting United wanted to recoup their initial investment, while others cited an asking price between €25-35 million and a swap-deal valuation as low as €22-25 million. In March 2026, multiple reports claimed he was available for €25 million, though a separate asking price of €35 million was considered too high by potential suitors. A potential loan-to-buy deal in January 2026 was reportedly valued at €38 million, while his asking price in late 2025 was said to be between €30-40 million.

Our valuation is driven by Manchester United's reported willingness to accept a loss on the €42.5 million they paid for Joshua Zirkzee in 2024. Recent rumours from early 2026 consistently cite asking prices between €25 million and €35 million. While the higher figure has been deemed too expensive by some clubs, the lower figure appears frequently, establishing a credible floor for negotiations given the player's desire to leave and inconsistent form.
