Juventus continue to reshape their attacking department ahead of the new season, and a significant breakthrough may have arrived in their pursuit of Joshua Zirkzee.
According to TuttoJuve, the Manchester United striker has given his initial approval to a potential move to Turin, signaling his willingness to return to Serie A after an underwhelming spell in the Premier League.
The Dutch forward, born in 2001, is believed to see Juventus as the ideal destination to revive his career and rediscover the form that made him one of Italy’s most exciting attackers during his time with Bologna.
Juventus Working on Loan Deal
With the player’s approval reportedly secured, Juventus’ focus now shifts to negotiations with Manchester United.

The Bianconeri are pushing to structure the deal as a loan, a solution that would reduce the club’s immediate financial commitment while giving United the opportunity to increase Zirkzee’s market value through regular playing time.
Discussions with the striker’s representatives are said to be progressing well, although the final agreement between the two clubs still needs to be reached.
Kolo Muani Remains the Priority
Despite Zirkzee’s positive response, Juventus have not changed their transfer strategy. Luciano Spalletti’s top attacking target remains Paris Saint-Germain forward Randal Kolo Muani, with negotiations continuing between the two clubs.
Juventus are preparing to submit what could be their final offer but are unwilling to wait much longer for PSG’s decision.
If the French champions refuse to lower their demands, the Italian giants are expected to move decisively for Zirkzee.
As with many of Juventus’ transfer plans this summer, any move depends on player sales. The club must first reduce its wage bill and generate funds before completing new signings.
