Manchester United set conditions for Juventus to sign Joshua Zirkzee

Manchester United do not want to sell Joshua Zirkzee this summer, even though Juventus are interested in signing the Dutch striker.

Juventus are looking for a new striker and have made Randal Kolo Muani their main target. However, they are still struggling to reach an agreement for the French forward. Because of this, Juventus are also looking at other options, including Zirkzee.

Zirkzee joined Manchester United from Bologna, but he has struggled to show his best form at the English club.

Before joining United, he performed well in Italy and became a highly rated striker. Juventus know his qualities from his time in Serie A and believe he could help their attack.

Juventus could consider signing Zirkzee if they fail to bring Kolo Muani to the club. However, the deal will depend on Manchester United’s conditions.

According to Tuttosport, Manchester United are not ready to sell Zirkzee permanently.

United would only allow the player to leave on loan. The club wants Zirkzee to get regular playing time and improve his form before returning to Manchester.

United also do not want to include an option for Juventus to buy him permanently after the loan.

This means Juventus would have to accept a loan deal without a permanent transfer option if they want to sign Zirkzee.

Juventus’ first choice remains Randal Kolo Muani. The club will continue trying to complete a deal for him.

If Juventus fail to sign Kolo Muani, they could then consider Zirkzee as another option.

The next few weeks will be important for Juventus as they decide which striker to sign. At the same time, Manchester United are ready to protect their investment in Zirkzee and do not want to sell him permanently.
