Juventus Renew Interest in Manchester United Striker Joshua Zirkzee
Serie A giants Juventus have reopened talks to sign Manchester United striker Joshua Zirkzee, according to Gazzetta dello Sport. The Italian club is seeking a replacement for Dusan Vlahovic and has contacted United to discuss a potential transfer. The Red Devils reportedly value the 25-year-old Dutch international at between €35 million and €40 million. Zirkzee has struggled since joining United, failing to replicate his standout 2023/24 season at Bologna where he scored 12 goals and provided 7 assists. Juventus previously attempted to sign him in summer 2024 and January 2025, but both moves fell through. Napoli also showed interest in April 2026. However, a transfer is not guaranteed, as United may keep Zirkzee for cover while Benjamin Sesko is sidelined with injury. Manager Carrick is assessing his attacking options ahead of the new season.
