Joshua Zirkzee agrees to return to Italy: Juventus strengthens attack

"Manchester United" striker Joshua Zirkzee is close to continuing his career back in the Italian Serie A. The Dutch footballer has given his initial consent to join the Turin club "Juventus". This transfer is part of the Turin club's strategy to fundamentally revamp its attacking line. This is reported by Goal.com reports .

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Joshua Zirkzee wants to return to the familiar Italian championship after a short and not-so-successful stint in the English Premier League. The "Juventus" management is currently intensifying negotiations with the player's agent, Kia Joorabchian, regarding a loan deal.

The Turin club's grand plans

"Juventus" does not want to limit itself to just Joshua Zirkzee. The club's sporting director, Ricky Massara, is also considering Paris Saint-Germain member Randal Kolo Muani to further strengthen the attacking line. According to reports, a budget of 40 million euros is planned for the Parisian striker.

Joshua Zirkzee showed brilliant form last season for "Bologna", recording 12 goals and 7 assists. However, after moving to England, he faced difficulties breaking into the "Manchester United" starting lineup. Although he has played a total of 68 matches over the last two seasons, he has only started 19 of them.

According to Goal.com, the Turin club's head coach, Luciano Spalletti, considers the Dutch striker a technically gifted player who fits his tactical scheme. Due to an injury to the team's young forward, Jeff Ekhator, strengthening the attack has become a top priority for the club.

The club's management believes that by combining Joshua Zirkzee's technical skill and Kolo Muani's speed, they can create a more dynamic attacking line. Currently, the club's CEO, Giovanni Carnevali, is working on finalizing both transfers in the short term.

At the moment, "Juventus" continues its preparations for the new season. The team will face "Frosinone" in the opening round of Serie A. The coaching staff expects the transfers to be completed quickly so that the new players can adapt to the team faster.
