Regarding Zirkzee, the former Sweden striker emphasized Milan’s ongoing quest for a new forward following a successful previous transfer window focused on foundational moves. With Olivier Giroud’s departure, there is now a need for a new number 9.

Discussing agent commissions, Ibrahimovic highlighted their influence on negotiations for the Bologna striker.

“When we talk about negotiations, we think that a club are under pressure and are trying to exploit the situation. It’s a negotiation, it goes back and forth, it’s not a charity. It has to go well for the club. We’re smart and intelligent, it’s not rock and roll.”
