Joshua Zirkzee wants Manchester United exit as Juventus push to sign Dutch striker | OneFootball

Joshua Zirkzee has been linked with a move away from Manchester United this summer.

Napoli are interested in signing the Dutch attacker, and they will face competition from Juventus, according to Corriere dello Sport.

Joshua Zirkzee could return to Italy

Juventus have been working on signing the player, and the attacker is keen on a move to Turin. It is no secret that Juventus need more quality in the attacking unit, and Zirkzee could prove to be an excellent acquisition for them.

The two clubs have discussed a loan deal, and there have been talks of including an obligation to buy as well. Zirkzee is now waiting for his future to be sorted out quickly so that he can focus on his football once again.

He joined Manchester United in 2024 from Bologna, and he has struggled to make his mark at Old Trafford. His performances have been mediocre, and he is looking to leave the club and return to Italy. He has shown his quality in Italian football in the past, and he could rediscover his form and confidence with Juventus or Napoli.

Zirkzee needs a fresh start

Meanwhile, Manchester United will look to offload the player permanently. Even if they send him out on loan this summer, they should insist on an obligation to buy so they don’t have to deal with the player’s future again next summer.

Meanwhile, Manchester United should look to replace him properly if he is allowed to move on. Benjamin Sesko is the only other striker at the club, and Manchester United need more depth in that area of the pitch. They need someone who can share the goal-scoring burden with the Slovenian.

Zirkzee has 9 goals and 4 assists in 75 appearances for Manchester United.
