Moise Kean decision could see Juventus miss out on Man Utd man | OneFootball

Moise Kean wants to leave Fiorentina this summer, and that could affect Juventus’ plans for Joshua Zirkzee, with Fiorentina poised to sign the Juventus target, Tuttomercatoweb reports.

Kean has been trying to force through a move to Como in recent days, and Fiorentina have refused to allow him to leave, but they could eventually give in. This is why they have now added Zirkzee to their shopping list, with the striker available for transfer and Juventus wanting to add him to their squad.

Fiorentina prepare for Kean departure

The Bianconeri want Jonathan David to leave, and Zirkzee is the player they want to replace him if that happens, with the Old Lady targeting a summer loan move. Manchester United might allow him to leave on loan, but that would only happen if no club emerges to sign him on a permanent transfer.

Fiorentina’s interest could therefore complicate Juventus’ plans for the striker. If Kean leaves the club, they will need to find a replacement, and Zirkzee has emerged as one of the players they believe could fill the gap.

The situation could develop quickly in the final stages of the transfer window. Fiorentina have a clear reason to pursue Zirkzee if Kean departs, while Juventus remain interested in bringing the striker to Turin.

Zirkzee could head to Florence

If Fiorentina give up and agree to sell Kean, they will make an approach for Zirkzee, and it would be a permanent transfer, as the striker is one of the players they believe would be a fine replacement for Kean.

The former Juventus man is training away from the team as he tries to force through the move to Como. That situation could ultimately determine whether Fiorentina make their move for Zirkzee.

The report claims Zirkzee will be heading to Florence as things stand because La Viola have shown more interest than Juventus in his signature. For the Bianconeri, that could be a major setback if they are unable to secure their preferred loan arrangement.

Much will depend on what happens with Kean in the final days of the window. If he leaves Fiorentina, their pursuit of Zirkzee could become more serious and potentially take the striker away from Juventus.
