Coming live from Fabrizio Romano, Zirkzee talking €115m star into Man Utd MOVE now imminent as sensational player now open to joining Manchester United. “He always joke around with me of our dream of playing together in a team one day. Josh is a very good friend it has been our dream to be in the same club starting games together.
Joshua Zirkzee has quickly established himself at Manchester United following his €42.5 million transfer from Bologna this summer. The 23-year-old forward has adapted well under Erik ten Hag’s management, already scoring his debut Premier League goal. Off the pitch, Zirkzee is also working to persuade one of football’s top young talents, Jamal Musiala, to join him at Old Trafford.
Musiala, who previously played with Zirkzee at Bayern Munich, disclosed in an interview with *Welt am Sonntag* that the Dutch striker has been playfully trying to convince him to make the move to Manchester United. The 21-year-old German international shared, “Friends often joke and dream about playing together someday. It goes both ways—I’ve also told Josh he should come back to Bayern. But it’s all in good fun, nothing to take too seriously.”
Despite the lighthearted nature of their conversation, Musiala stressed his satisfaction at Bayern Munich. Having spent time in Chelsea’s youth academy and represented England at youth level before committing to Germany, Musiala has become a key player for Bayern.
When asked about the possibility of joining another major club, considering his Bayern contract runs until 2026, Musiala stated, “I’m very happy at Bayern and fully focused on our objectives with the club and the national team. I don’t think too far ahead in football because things can change quickly.”
Musiala is currently considered one of the most valuable young players in football, with an Estimated Transfer Value (ETV) of €114.1 million, down slightly from his peak of €118.9 million. While there’s no immediate indication of him leaving Bayern, the club is likely to work on securing his future, especially with players like Joshua Kimmich and Alphonso Davies approaching free agency next summer.
For now, Musiala remains committed to his path at Bayern, but Zirkzee’s efforts to bring him to Manchester United add an interesting twist to the future of one of football’s brightest prospects.
