Agent of Manchester United star reaches agreement with Serie A giants

Struggling Manchester United striker Joshua Zirkzee is reportedly eyeing a move back to Italy in January six months after his move to Old Trafford. As reported by Gianluca di Marzio (via The Peoples Person), Zirkzee's agent Kia Joorabchian has agreed on a deal between the Dutchman and Juventus.

As per the aforementioned report, the Netherlands international is keen on returning to Italy following his dismal start to life at Old Trafford. He reportedly wants to link up with current Juventus manager Thiago Motta once again, who made him click at Bologna.

However, the key obstacle in any deal would be the transfer fee as Manchester United splashed a reported £36.5 million for his services last summer. While Juventus have money in the bank, they are believed to be keen on defensive additions.

The Old Lady are believed to be looking to sign Zirkzee in a loan deal but are not willing to have the obligation to buy. However, the Red Devils want to either sell the misfiring attacker or would be looking to loan him out with a mandatory buying clause.

Zirkzee has scored just four goals and provided two assists in 27 appearances for Manchester United following his move from Bologna last summer. Ruben Amorim notably subbed the attacker off in the 33rd minute in the Red Devils' last game as they lost 2-0 to Newcastle United.

Zirkzee, formerly of Bayern Munich, made his name at Bologna during his spell at the Serie A club between 2022 and 2024. He played 58 times for the club, scoring 14 times while providing nine assists. He was named the Serie A 'Best Young Player' last season while also being named in the Serie A 'Team of the Year'.


Manchester United offer three players to former manager Jose Mourinho's Fenerbahce: Reports

Manchester United have reportedly offered three outcast players to Turkish side Fenerbahce, managed by Jose Mourinho. As claimed by Fanatik (via Tribal Football), the former Red Devils boss has been offered Antony, Victor Lindelof, and Christian Eriksen.

The 20-time English champions have struggled this season and new manager Ruben Amorim has so far not been able to steady the ship. Manchester United have lost six of their first 11 games under the Portuguese manager while winning four times.

Amorim is understood to be looking to refresh his squad but must sell players in order to make room for new signings. Antony, Victor Lindelof, and Christian Eriksen are among the players he is reportedly ready to let go.
