Report: Man United could land “lightning” forward for nothing if they sacrifice 24-year-old

Manchester United could be offered the opportunity to sign Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic.

The Serbian will be out of contract at the end of the season, and the Italians are looking to get rid of him in January. They do not want to lose the player on a free transfer. According to a report from Italian publication TuttoJuve, they could offer him in a swap deal for Joshua Zirkzee.

Zirkzee needs to move on

The Netherlands International has not been able to establish himself as an important player for Manchester United, and he is not a regular starter for them either. It will be interesting to see if Manchester United decide to sacrifice him to sign the Serbian.

Vlahovic has the physicality and technical attributes for the Premier League, and he could be a much better fit for Manchester United alongside Benjamin Sesko.

The Serbian could be tempted to move to the Premier League. It would be a huge opportunity for him, and he will look to prove himself in English football. Manchester United need another striker like him if they want to do well this season. Signing the Serbian in January could make a huge difference for them during the second half of the campaign.

The player has been described as a ridiculous talent in the past, and he has been labelled as “lightning” by Micah Richards. It will be interesting to see if Manchester United can get the deal across the line. The move could be ideal for all parties.

Juventus will be able to avoid losing Vlahovic on a free, and they would get to improve their attacking unit with the signing of Zirkzee. The 24-year-old has proven his quality in Italy in the past, and Juventus could help him regain his peak form. As for Manchester United, they would be able to bring in a quality striker who could make an impact for them in the final third.
