Manchester United forward Joshua Zirkzee is on Juventus' radar as the Serie A club looks for a replacement for Dusan Vlahovic. The Dutch striker has struggled to make an impact at Old Trafford since his £36.5m move in 2024.
What's the latest on Zirkzee's future?
Juventus have made an enquiry about Zirkzee's availability, according to Gazzetta dello Sport. The 25-year-old has scored just nine goals in 75 appearances for United, far below expectations. United are open to selling him for around £34m.
Why is Juventus interested?
The Turin club are seeking a new striker after losing Dusan Vlahovic on a free transfer. Their top target remains PSG's Randal Kolo Muani, but negotiations have stalled over valuation. Zirkzee's link-up play appeals to Juventus despite his poor goalscoring record.
What does this mean for Manchester United?
United have been busy in the transfer market, signing Youri Tielemans, Andrey Santos, Karl Darlow and Tynan Thompson. They're still looking for a third midfielder and a new left-back. With Zirkzee potentially leaving, they could reinvest the funds into these positions.
What's next for United?
The Red Devils finished third in the Premier League last season with 71 points (20W-11D-7L). Their recent form was strong, winning four of their last five matches (WWWWD). Next up is a trip to Chelsea on October 31, with Manuel Ugarte still sidelined by injury.
