The question that now arises, essentially, is: if it is Italy, where mightZirkzee end up playing?
During the summer transfer window, numerous Serie A clubs could revolutionise their attacking line-up:Inter,Juventus,Milan,Napoli, andRoma themselves.
Chivu’s Nerazzurri could be interested should MarcusThuram leave, be sold and generate a profit;Spalletti’s Bianconeri have already sounded out the player in the past and will have to deal with the futures ofOpendaandDavid;Allegri’s Rossoneri – the team he seemed destined for beforeManchester United – will mainly have to resolve issues surroundingGimenez,Nkunku andFullkrug;Conte’s Azzurri – with whom he had already been linked in the past – might consider a player of his calibre, who is highly regarded by the Neapolitan manager; finally,Gasperini’s Giallorossi could return to the hunt for him following the failed deal in January.
So, will Italy once again beJoshua Zirkzee’s future? It is highly likely thatManchester United will certainly not feature in his plans.
