Manchester United forward Joshua Zirkzee is in advanced negotiations to join Juventus on a season‑long loan with a £30 million permanent option to buy (≈€35 million), though a final agreement is yet to be reached.
The 25‑year‑old Dutch centre‑forward joined United from Bologna in 2024 for an initial £36.5 million (rising to around £40 million with add‑ons) but has struggled to establish himself, scoring 9 goals in 75 appearances and making only 5 Premier League starts last term. New arrivals Benjamin Šeško and Matheus Cunha have pushed him further down the pecking order under manager Michael Carrick, opening the door for a departure.
Juventus turned their attention to Zirkzee after pursuing Randal Kolo Muani and see him as the ideal solution to fill their centre‑forward gap following Dusan Vlahovic’s exit. Zirkzee previously impressed in Serie A and has given his personal approval to the move, viewing a return to Italy as the best way to rebuild his momentum
