Juventus Sets Date to Pursue Zirkzee from Manchester United
Juventus continues its efforts in the summer transfer market, placing Dutch striker Joshua Zirkzee among its top attacking targets, with a desire to finalize the deal after addressing some other priorities within the team.
According to Italian newspaper Corriere dello Sport, Zirkzee is firmly on Juventus's radar as the Italian club has started discussions with Manchester United regarding the possibility of signing the Dutch striker.
Juventus management is prioritizing the signing of Japanese goalkeeper Zio Suzuki and Colombian defender John Lucumi before moving on to the Zirkzee file.
In the Suzuki deal, Paris Saint-Germain and Parma have reached a preliminary agreement valued at around €33 to €35 million. Meanwhile, Juventus is working to sign the Japanese goalkeeper on loan, with negotiations ongoing with the player's camp.
Juventus continues its negotiations with Bologna in an attempt to narrow the gap in the valuation of the player. The club is demanding around €25 million for their defender, while Juventus values the player at approximately €17 to €18 million.
Defender Juan Cabal is now part of the discussions regarding the transfer, awaiting the player's final response.
After finalizing the deals for Suzuki and Locatelli, Zirkzee will be the next target for Juventus, as the Italian club discusses with Manchester United the possibility of completing the transfer on loan with an option to buy.
Reports indicate that Juventus plans to make a strong push for Zirkzee after concluding their goalkeeper and defender deals, as the club aims to bolster its attacking line ahead of the new season.
