The fee is understood to be just over £35m (€42.5m) - above the £33.6m (€40m) release clause, however, it is in exchange for more favourable payment terms; personal terms have been agreed for a five-year deal and he is expected to undergo a Man Utd medical this week
Manchester United have agreed a deal to sign Bologna forward Joshua Zirkzee.
The fee is understood to be just over £35m (€42.5m) - above the £33.6m (€40m) release clause.
However, it is in exchange for more favourable payment terms.
It means United will not pay a lump sum up-front but pay over a three-year period.
Personal terms have been agreed with Zirkzee, who had been representing Netherlands at Euro 2024.
Zirkzee is expected to have a medical this week before signing a five-year contract with the option of a further year.
The 23-year-old recorded 12 goals and seven assists as Bologna qualified for the Champions League this season.
