Naast Juventus, Como also offers Nederlander Zirkzee to Man United
Today at 07:50, Joshua Zirkzee appears set to leave Manchester United this summer, with Juventus and Como are both interested. According to transfer journalist Nicolo Schira, the Nederlander striker, who saw limited minutes in Engeland, has been offered a move, and the buzz in Britse media suggests a deal could materialise soon. Volgens Nicolo Schira, bij De transferjournalist, the situation remains fluid.
At the beginning of the summer transfer window, Zirkzee's exit from Man United looked almost certain. Early speculation painted his departure as a sure thing.
He saw limited minutes in England last season, and the club was not opposed to a transfer. The lack of playing time reinforced the notion that a move would benefit all parties.
British media at the end of last week reported that he impressed in a United training match, yet statements suggested he remained despite United's interest. The reports highlighted his good performance in the oefenwedstrijd.
Schira maintains that the likelihood of a transfer remains high; the striker wishes to take a step forward and his representatives have presented offers from Juventus and Como. The entourage’s involvement indicates a proactive approach to his next career move.
Como is a newly promoted side, but the nickname De Oude Dame, referring to Juventus, has long been linked with Zirkzee. This juxtaposition underscores the varied interest in the forward.
According to La dello Sport, Juventus currently holds the strongest interest in the Dutch forward. The Italian daily places Juventus at the top of the interest list.
A return to Serie A would place Zirkzee back on the stage where he excelled, recalling his prolific spell at Bologna that earned United a fee exceeding forty million euros. That previous move demonstrated his value on the European stage.
