Manchester United striker Joshua Zirkzee has been linked with a move away from the club.
The 23-year-old Dutch international has not been able to live up to the expectations since the move to the Premier League and Juventus are prepared to provide him with an exit route.
According to Fichajes, the Italian outfit are looking to sign the striker and they would be willing to pay €50 million to get the deal done. It will be interesting to see if Manchester United are ready to sell the player.
Even though he has not been able to live up to the expectations, he remains a talented player with a bright future. He has shown his quality in Italian football and he has the attributes to shine in the Premier League as well.
Manchester United are struggling as a team and it has been difficult for new players to settle in. Perhaps, the Red Devils should be more patient with him and let him develop under their new manager, Ruben Amorim. The Portuguese manager managed to get the best out of Viktor Gyokeres during his time at Sporting CP and he might be able to bring out the best in the Dutch attacker as well. It will be interesting to see how the situation develops.
Zirkzee to replace Vlahovic?
Meanwhile, it is no surprise that Juventus are keen on him. Zirkzee was a handful during his time at Bologna, and the Italian outfit will have seen him perform a close. They need attacking reinforcements, especially with Dusan Vlahovic linked with a move away from the club. Zirkzee could prove to be the ideal replacement for the Serbian international.
A return to Italy could be attractive for the player as well. He might feel that a fresh start could help him get back to his best. He has not been able to adapt to English football as much as he would have liked.
A return to his comfort zone could bring out the best in him once again, and Juventus are one of the biggest clubs in Italy. The opportunity to play for them could be attractive for the player.
