SSC Napoli considers Zirkzee due to Varela's price

Corriere dello Sport has revealed that SSC Napoli are continuing to seek reinforcement for their attack during the upcoming transfer window, placing AC Monza's Gustavo Varela among their top targets.

Despite the southern club's interest in the player, the deal appears complicated due to high financial demands, with Varela's value ranging between €30 million and €35 million, which may prompt SSC Napoli's management to consider alternative options.

In this context, Joshua Zirkzee, Manchester United's forward, has returned to the spotlight as a potential option to bolster SSC Napoli's attack, especially given his limited appearances with the English team this season.

According to the report, SSC Napoli may look to explore the possibility of signing Joshua Zirkzee on loan in January, but the stance of manager Maurício Pochettino on the player's departure will be an important factor in finalizing the deal.

The Dutch forward remains one of the options SSC Napoli is considering if they fail to reach an agreement regarding Gustavo Varela.
