Juventus have been in contact with Joshua Zirkzee’s entourage as Manchester United are open to offloading the striker on a permanent basis.
According to Gianluca Di Marzio, Juventus have been in touch with Joshua Zirkzee’s representatives over a winter move. The Bianconeri are plotting a dry loan with a possibility of including an option to buy, although Manchester United are eager to find a permanent solution for the Dutchman’s future.
The future of Joshua Zirkzee is set to become a big story during the current January window. The striker has come into acute focus following an early substitution during the Newcastle United game and then the subsequent jeering from the home fans, which brought out an indifferent reaction from the striker.
Zirkzee looks increasingly likely to leave Manchester United in January, although the links with an existing have persisted since the first few months of his arrival at the club. The Red Devils have since seen active links with a new striker as Sporting CP star Viktor Gyokeres has emerged as a target for Ruben Amorim.
In any case, Zirkzee continues to find it difficult to start games for the club, and steadily, it’s becoming clear that Amorim is not overly eager to find a solution. Hence, a departure would suit all parties concerned, as Juventus are seemingly interested in making a move.
Earlier reports had indicated that Juventus were open to paying big to sign the 2024 Manchester United signing. However, the current idea is leaning more towards a loan wit a possible option to buy. The Red Devils are not interested in the solution, which could complicate any potential move away from Old Trafford.
Juventus contact Zirkzee entourage
Juventus are already making headway in their chase of the 2024 Manchester United signing, as they have been in contact with Zirkzee’s entourage. It may be the case that the Bianconeri are looking to agree personal terms with the forward and then open discussions with the Red Devils over a deal.
The report stresses Manchester United’s desire to find a permanent solution for Zirkzee. Hence, the Red Devils are not overly keen to let him leave on a dry loan, although they would welcome the prospect of a buy obligation being included in the contract, as Juventus might think about their next steps in the coming period.
