Joshua Zirkzee’s difficult spell at Manchester United has caught the attention of Juventus, who are monitoring the situation closely. The Dutch striker’s struggles in England have led to speculation about a potential move, with Juventus emerging as a possible destination.
Tuttosport detail how Zirkzee’s time at Manchester United has been marred by poor performances and criticism from fans. Even the arrival of new manager Ruben Amorim has not revitalized his career as hoped. After a brief positive showing against Tottenham, Zirkzee’s performance against Bournemouth was particularly disappointing, leading to his substitution after less than an hour and harsh criticism from supporters.
The situation has deteriorated to the point where Manchester United might consider a loan move to help Zirkzee regain form and protect their significant £36.5 million investment. Juventus, led by Cristiano Giuntoli, are not just passive observers but have already made inquiries about the player’s availability.
Adding to Zirkzee’s professional challenges are personal issues, including a reported breakup with his long-time girlfriend Celina Jada Kerr. These factors combined suggest that a change of scenery might be beneficial for the young striker.
Juventus are also keeping an eye on Randal Kolo Muani’s situation at Paris Saint-Germain. The French striker, who cost PSG €95 million just two years ago, has fallen out of favor with manager Luis Enrique. With limited playing time and output this season, PSG might consider a loan move to protect their investment.
As an alternative, Juventus are considering Giacomo Raspadori from Napoli. Giuntoli, who brought Raspadori to Napoli, appreciates the player’s tactical versatility and ability to link play. However, convincing Napoli to loan out Raspadori could be challenging.
