The Joshua Zirkzee transfer saga It could be resolved in the coming days as the Manchester United forward is open to joining Juventus, according to Juve FC.
The Netherlands international is struggling at Man Utd after joining from Bologna in the summer, and his stay in English football may be a short one.
Zirkzee has asked his representatives seek a return to Serie A this January, and Juve FC claim they are open to a move to Turin.
It looks like things could move quickly in this saga, and it surely makes sense for all parties involved if Zirkzee leaves Old Trafford as soon as possible this January.
The Man United star is closing in on a shock exit
The 23-year-old recently suffered the humiliation of being substituted after just half an hour of United’s defeat at home to Newcastle, and it’s hard to see him coming back from that awful start in Manchester.
Joshua Zirkzee looks like he needs a return to Italy
Zirkzee impressed during his time at Bologna and one imagines he could revive his career with another spell in Italian footballwith the Premier League maybe not just for him.
We’ve seen many excellent players struggle to adapt to new leagues in the past, and the fast pace of the English game can sometimes prove too much.
It doesn’t help that Zirkzee is still young and relatively inexperienced, and has also been playing in a generally poor United side that has looked poor in a number of positions.
Zirkzee could still save his career if he chooses the right move for himself now, although some may also feel that he needs to face this challenge instead of running away at the first opportunity.
It will be interesting to see if United and Juventus can come to some kind of agreement in the coming days, and if MUFC replace the departing Dutchman in attack.
