Welcome back, football fans! Exciting news from Old Trafford – Manchester United have sealed a deal to bring Joshua Zer from Bologna into their ranks. The transfer fee is just over £35 million, slightly above his £33.6 million release clause.
However, this comes with the perk of favorable payment terms, allowing United to pay over three years instead of a lump sum upfront.
Personal terms are already settled, and Zer is expected to undergo his medical this week before inking a five-year contract with an option for an additional year.
With Joshua Zer joining, maybe Manchester United can finally find the back of the net as often as they find new signings!

A Perfect Partnership in the Making?
Now, let’s dive into the nitty-gritty of Zer’s contribution. Comparing his heat map from last season in Serie A with Rasmus Højlund’s Premier League heat map reveals the potential for a dynamic strike partnership.
Zer does most of his work outside the penalty box, while Højlund spends significant time inside the area. This complementary style could create a formidable duo up front for United.
Zer’s Impact on the Pitch
When we stack Zer up against other Serie A forwards, he might only rank 10th in top goal scorers, but there’s so much more to his game that caught Manchester United’s eye.
His involvement in the buildup play is impressive – he’s highly ranked for chances created, through balls attempted, and total touches. Not to mention, he tops the charts for total tackles and possession won in the attacking third. This all-around playmaker style is precisely what United needs to enhance their attacking prowess.
Looking Ahead
With Zer joining the squad, Manchester United fans have much to be excited about. His ability to create opportunities and his work ethic on the pitch could be the perfect ingredients for a successful season ahead. As we wait for the official announcement and his debut in the Premier League, there’s a buzz of anticipation around how Zer will fit into Erik ten Hag’s plans.
Paying over three years? Looks like United’s finance team is playing FIFA Career Mode with the ‘financial takeover’ cheat on!
