Manchester United Prepared to Loan Zirkzee to Juventus
Despite having already secured two new attacking reinforcements this summer, Juventus are still pursuing additional options for their forward line. Recent reports indicate that Manchester United is now open to the possibility of letting Joshua Zirkzee depart on loan.
Could Juventus Pursue Zirkzee Alongside Kolo Muani and Alajbegovic?
According to Gianluca Di Marzio of Sky Sport Italia, Juventus continues discussions with Manchester United and Zirkzee's agent, Kia Joorabchian. The Premier League club has reportedly indicated a willingness to loan the Dutch forward out for the 2026-27 season. However, conflicting reports from Matteo Moretto suggest that Manchester United still hopes for a permanent transfer or a loan with an obligation to buy this summer.
Both sources agree that Zirkzee himself views Juventus as a desirable destination. Ricky Massara, who previously considered signing Zirkzee during his time with Roma, is reportedly playing a significant role in the negotiations with Manchester United.
Zirkzee joined Manchester United two seasons ago for a reported €42.5 million from Bologna. However, he has since seen his playing time diminish behind other forwards like Benjamin Sesko, Matheus Cunha, and Bryan Mbeumo. In his first two years in England, Zirkzee has scored nine goals in 75 appearances across all competitions.
Juventus have recently bolstered their attacking options with the permanent signings of Randal Kolo Muani from Paris Saint-Germain and Kerim Alajbegovic from Bayer Leverkusen.
