Juventus Targets Premier League Striker Amidst Attacking Woes

Italian football giant Juventus is reportedly eyeing a January transfer window acquisition to shore up its struggling‌ attack. According to reports, the club is in talks to bring in Joshua Zirkzee, currently playing for Manchester United.This move ​comes as Juventus grapples with injuries to‍ key players,‌ leaving them short on firepower ‍up front.

The news, initially reported by transfer market expert Gianluca Di Marzio, indicates that Juventus has already initiated discussions with Zirkzee’s agent.Manchester United is also aware of the Italian club’s interest. Juventus’s proposed deal involves​ a loan move ⁢for⁣ the Dutch international until the end of the season.

However, the path to securing zirkzee⁢ may not be‍ straightforward. Reports suggest‌ Manchester united‍ is hesitant to agree to a simple loan deal. rather,the Premier League ‌club is reportedly seeking a mandatory purchase option as part of any agreement. Whether Juventus is willing to accept this condition remains to ⁣be seen.

Zirkzee’s time at Manchester⁢ United hasn’t been particularly prolific. He’s struggled to find the back of the net consistently, registering only three goals and one assist in nineteen Premier League appearances. ‌His recent substitution in a match against Newcastle United further highlights his current situation.

before ⁤his move to‍ the Premier ⁣League, Zirkzee​ enjoyed a more accomplished spell in Serie A.
