Manchester United forward gives green light to Serie A transfer | OneFootball

Joshua Zirkzee has reportedly given the green light for a move away from Manchester United.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Zirkzee has given an initial ‘yes’ to the idea of joining Juventus this summer.

The Serie A club want to sign a replacement for Dusan Vlahovic and have identified Paris Saint-Germain’s Randal Kolo Muani as their number one target. 

But the two clubs are currently far apart in their valuation, and Juventus are exploring other alternative targets. They are keen to sign Zirkzee but prefer a loan move. 

United want a permanent transfer, so they could reinvest the fee to bolster their squad. 

Zirkzee started the Red Devils’ first pre-season game against Wrexham last weekend, but he is expected to leave the club in the summer transfer window. 

The Netherlands international has been an underwhelming signing since joining from Bologna in 2024.

He has bagged only nine goals and four assists in 75 appearances across all competitions.

Andrey Santos, Youri Tielemans, Karl Darlow and Tynan Thompson have officially joined United this summer. 

The club are still seeking a third midfielder, while a new left-back is a priority. 

Addressing Marcus Rashford’s future is also crucial, with any potential attacking signing depending on his exit.
