The transfer clause for Joshua Zirkzee is valid for all clubs, not just for Bayern Munich. There had been discussions in the winter months to potentially raise it to 60-70 million - in the face of an improvement in the salary - but the situation did not take off. Therefore, the Dutch striker can show up with 40 million and get free, resolving the contract that binds him to the Rossoblù. Then there would be a potential bureaucratic knot to understand if 40% of the resale (over 8 million) will then end up in Bavaria, but it will almost certainly be so.
Juventus has the Thiago Motta card that can entice the player, but in this case it would be necessary to understand what Vlahovic will do, a complicated topic at the beginning of the market.

They are two young, strong and on paper compatible strikers.

Juventus would also like to pair him with Vlahovic, because they are capable of playing together, but also potentially replace him.
Bayern Monaco has the potential buy-back for 40 million, otherwise 40% for the amount that exceeds the 8 million paid by Bologna for him. If 50 million were to arrive, 16.8 would go to the Bavarians with a simple calculation: from the offered figure, subtract the 8, 42 remains, from which you have to subtract 40%. Difficult to think of holding him back by force, better to start an auction: around 60 million there is the break even of Bayern's offer, above Bologna will earn. Juventus and Milan have already been in line for a long time, it remains to be seen if proposals will also come from outside.
