According to the insider Nikolo Skyra, the Turin club has already made an offer to rent the player with an option to buy.
Manchester United insists on a full transfer or a mandatory buyout at the end of the lease.
Juventus coach Thiago Motta is personally interested in signing Zirkze, as they had a successful partnership at Bologna. Last season was outstanding for their tandem, because the team sensationally won a place in the Champions League. Then Zirkze scored 11 goals in Serie A and was a key player in the attack.
Joshua Zirkze joined Manchester United in July 2024 after a €42.5 million transfer from Bologna. Since the transfer, he played 27 matches for Manchester United in all competitions, scoring 4 goals. The Red Devils are having a very bad season in the Premier League.
Turin “Juventus” occupies the 5th place in Serie A (32 points), 12 points behind the leader “Napoli”.
