Joshua Zirkzee is having a tough time at Manchester United, hasn’t managed to become a regular starter, and is starting to regret his choice.
He picked them over a few clubs, including a pair of Serie A ones, Calciomercato relays.
The Red Devils paid €36M for the striker, spending a little more than his release clause to obtain easier payment structure. He has scored just once in 11 appearances. He has started four times in the Premier League.
Zirkzee would be happy to return to Serie A, even as soon as in the next window. It remains to be seen whether Manchester United agree with that and would be open to a departure on an initial loan.
Juventus are in the hunt for a striker and would like to sign somebody with his traits. He blossomed under Thiago Motta at Bologna. Milan came the closest to signing him last summer, but the deal collapsed over the requests by his entourage. It appears that they have moved on completely.
He didn’t land in the easiest situation, plus he faces significant competition, and his peculiar style takes some getting used to by coaches and teammates. A winter transfer would be stunning, but you never know. The Bianconeri need another center-forward, but it’d be rich to address that with somebody of his caliber. If he doesn’t turn things around, he’ll be a prominent target for the Old Lady if they don’t reach an agreement with Dusan Vlahovic and put him on sale. Instead, he wouldn’t be a great fit next to Alvaro Morata at Milan should they not keep Abraham.
