Zirkzee agrees to Juventus move as clubs negotiate

Joshua Zirkzee is closing in on a return to Serie A. According to journalist Matteo Moretto, the 25-year-old Manchester United striker has agreed to join Juventus. The next move belongs to the clubs. Manchester United are looking for either a permanent transfer or a loan with an obligation to buy, while Juventus sporting director Frederic Massara is coordinating the talks and staying in contact with both sides. The links are not new - reports in late July had already identified Zirkzee as a priority option to strengthen Juventus' attack. Serie A is familiar ground for the Dutch forward, who previously played for Parma before becoming a key player at Bologna. It was from Bologna that he joined Manchester United in the summer of 2024 for €42.5 million.
