Juventus are reportedly interested in signing struggling 23-year-old Dutch attacker Joshua Zirkzee from Manchester United.
Joshua Zirkzee has struggled for regular game time at Manchester United, and his performances have been rather underwhelming. According to a report by Spanish outlet Fichajes, Juventus are now prepared to go all out to get the deal done for the Dutchman. The striker is valued at €52 million, and it will be interesting to see if the Italian outfit are ready to pay up.
Zirkzee has previously shown his quality in Italian football with Bologna. There is no doubt that he could be a quality addition to the Juventus attack, thus explaining their interest in him. They need to add more quality and depth to their attacking unit, and the Dutchman would be the ideal addition.
Joshua Zirkzee is still quite young, and he is only going to get better with coaching and experience. He could be a long-term asset for the Serie A club. The opportunity to return to Italy could be quite attractive for the player as well. He has struggled to adjust to life in the Premier League, and a fresh start could be ideal for him. He will look to get back to his best once again.
Manchester United need to bring in an upgrade on Zirkzee
Manchester United have looked toothless in the final third, and they need to bring in a reliable goalscorer. It would be ideal for them to sell an underperformer and invest the proceeds from his departure in a player who can improve them. They have been linked with multiple players in recent weeks, and it will be interesting to see if they can bring in the right replacement.
Meanwhile, Joshua Zirkzee will look to get his career back on track, and the opportunity to join one of the biggest clubs in Italy will be quite attractive for him. Returning to his comfort zone could allow him to regain his form and confidence quickly.
The attacker will certainly be disappointed after failing to make his mark at Manchester United. But this might be the right time for him to move on and return to his comfort zone. Meanwhile, a report by Gazzetta dello Sport via Sport Witness has suggested that the Dutch attacker wants to reunite with Thiago Motta at Juventus.
