Why it matters
The transfer reflects the high-stakes movement of professional football players and the strategic squad rebuilding efforts of major European clubs.
Juventus are reportedly actively pursuing a deal to sign Manchester United forward Joshua Zirkzee to bolster their attacking options.
The Serie A giants have shifted their focus to the 25-year-old Dutchman after negotiations with Paris Saint-Germain for Randal Kolo Muani stalled.
Zirkzee has fallen out of favour at Old Trafford after starting just five Premier League matches under Michael Carrick and Ruben Amorim last season.
Unable to make the desired impact in Manchester, the former Bologna forward's future has been subject to several rumours, and the 25-year-old may be close to a way out of his unfortunate Premier League situation.
The Sun reports that the Turin outfit are now leading the race for his signature and hope to secure an initial loan agreement.
This proposed package includes a 30m option to buy the Netherlands international permanently at the end of the campaign.
