Juventus are actively considering offering Joshua Zirkzee of Manchester United an initial loan spell following his recent arrival from Bologna and subsequent stint at Old Trafford, after having struggled to replicate his Serie A performances at Old Trafford.
Juventus’ interest is no shock given Zirkzee’s impressive history in Italian football. However, Juventus could add conditions whereby Manchester United must pay part of Zirkzee’s salary during his loan period, something Manchester United is not currently considering.
Is Zirkzee’s Departure Imminent?
Zirkzee’s adaptation to life at Manchester United has not been smooth, prompting discussions about his future at the club. Despite this, the attention from a prestigious club like Juventus underlines his potential and market value. Juventus is on the lookout to bolster their attacking options, amidst uncertainties regarding the future of their Serbian striker Dusan Vlahovic.
Zirkzee could find return to Italy as an opportunity to revitalize his career, especially considering it could mean playing under new management at Manchester United – it will remain to be seen whether he sticks around under Ruben Amorim as Old Trafford manager and fights to retain his spot there.
Manchester United have struggled under Erik ten Hag, recently removed as manager. With more time for Zirkzee to adapt and find his form under new managerial guidance pending transfer window opening up next month. Still worth monitoring closely though.
