The striker is reported to have made the decision to leave during the 2026 summer transfer window. A lack of playing opportunities is the main reason the player wants to depart.

Throughout this season, Joshua Zirkzee has struggled to break into the Manchester United starting lineup. Competition in the forward line has intensified with the arrival of several new attackers such as Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo, and Benjamin Sesko.

This situation has seen Joshua Zirkzee more often serve as a backup. Of his total 18 appearances, he has only started four times and scored two goals.

Reports from English media state that Joshua Zirkzee is unhappy with his current role. He is said to want to find a new club that can give him more playing time as a main striker.

This is despite Joshua Zirkzee’s contract with Manchester United still being valid until the summer of 2029. In the team’s plans, he was actually projected as a backup for Benjamin Sesko in the central striker position.

However, the current conditions make a parting of ways possible for both sides. Manchester United are reportedly ready to sell Joshua Zirkzee for a fee of around 25 million euros.

This value is lower than when Manchester United brought him from Bologna in 2024 for a price of 42 million euros.

If this transfer materializes, Joshua Zirkzee would have the chance to start a new chapter in his career in order to get more consistent playing minutes at the highest level.

Ahead of FIFA Series, Bojan Hodak Praises Indonesian National Team's Strength

The Persib Bandung coach shared his views ahead of the match against Saint Kitts and Nevis in the FIFA Series tournament which will take place tonight at SUGBK.

Bojan Hodak believes the Indonesian National Team has a great chance to achieve victory. He highlighted the strength of the defensive line, which he assessed is already at a competitive level, even by international standards.

“I think the Indonesian National Team has a very strong defense, even for the international level. In terms of attack, I think they are also capable of scoring goals,” said Bojan Hodak.

The Persib Bandung coach also mentioned the potential contribution of young players like Beckham Putra Nugraha, who is seen as having a chance to make an impact in the forward line.

In addition, Bojan Hodak also gave attention to Eliano Reijnders. He assessed that the player has high flexibility and can be played in various positions.

According to Bojan Hodak, Eliano Reijnders has the potential to play as a winger or an attacking midfielder if given the chance to play.

“He has good movement and good instinct in finding space. So I think he could get opportunities to score goals,” said Bojan Hodak.

Bojan Hodak also revealed that at Persib Bandung, Eliano Reijnders is often played in various positions, even more frequently as a left-back due to the team’s needs.

“He can play anywhere, except goalkeeper. At Persib Bandung, he played a lot as a left-back because we didn’t have another player in that position,” explained Bojan Hodak.

With his flexibility and ability to read the game, Eliano Reijnders is considered to be an important option for the Indonesian National Team in facing Saint Kitts and Nevis in the FIFA Series.
