Joshua Zirkzee is set to become Manchester United's first summer signing. Transfer market expert Fabrizio Romano is calling it a 'done deal'. Zirkzee will sign a contract until mid-2029 after his medical, with an option for an additional season.

The medical tests will be held before the Schiedammer's vacation. Due to the elimination of the Dutch national team, Zirkzee can go on vacation again. Before he arrives at his vacation address, he will undergo the medical examination of Manchester United.

Manchester United will pay Bologna a little more than the €40 million buyout fee. This has everything to do with Financial Fair Play rules. The club would rather avoid having to pay €40 million in one go.

With the new payment terms in Manchester United slightly more than the buyout clause, but in this way the club can spread the payments over several terms. Romano further confirms that Bayern Munich will receive fifty percent of the transfer fee.

Romano has it in his livestream on Playback TV also about the impending transfer of Matthijs de Ligt to Manchester United. Earlier in the day, the Italian journalist reported that the Red Devils approach an agreement with Bayern on the transfer fee to be paid. Bayern wants to see fifty million euros.

Manchester United are approaching that amount and want to complete the deal by adding bonuses to the deal. The club wants to sign De Ligt as soon as possible in preparation for the new season. Romano confirms in his livestream that the talks are going well.

The club is also working on the arrival of Manuel Ugarte. The midfielder, who is currently with Uruguay at the Copa América, would like to move to the Premier League and is awaiting negotiations between Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain, where he is contracted until mid-2028.
