Why it matters
The transfer market dynamics impact team rosters and competitive balance in European football leagues.
Fiorentina and Juventus both remain interested in a potential deal for Manchester United and former Bologna forward Joshua Zirkzee, but as things stand it is La Viola who are closer to getting a deal done according to the latest updates in Italy.
