Joshua Zirkzee

Based on available data, the player completed a transfer from Bologna to Manchester United in July 2024 for a reported €42.5 million. In the summer of 2026, multiple bids were reported; Fiorentina was linked with a loan offer including a €5 million fee and a €30 million purchase clause, with some reports suggesting a total package up to €40 million. Juventus reportedly proposed a loan with a €2.5 million fee and a €30 million option, against a reported demand from Manchester United for a €35 million total. Throughout 2025 and 2026, Manchester United's asking price was cited inconsistently, ranging from €25 million to over €40 million. Transfermarkt's valuation was mentioned as €30 million in late 2025 and €25 million in January 2026.

Our valuation is driven by the conflict between Manchester United's initial €42.5 million investment in Joshua Zirkzee and his subsequent underperformance. While reports from early 2026 suggested a potential sale price as low as €25 million, the most recent and concrete negotiations from August 2026 with clubs like Fiorentina and Juventus involved structured loan-to-buy deals with total values consistently in the €35-40 million range. This indicates the most probable market price, despite United's reported desire to recoup their initial fee or ask for as much as £40 million (~€47 million).
