Juventus consider Manchester United striker Joshua Zirkzee following stalled En Nesyri move, while Roma’s interest persists
Manchester United striker Joshua Zirkzee has emerged as a potential target for Juventus, according to reports from Sky in Italy, after negotiations for Youssef En Nesyri stalled over the weekend.
The Serie A side are reportedly weighing options, with Zirkzee joining Jean-Philippe Mateta on the shortlist should the En Nesyri deal collapse entirely.
Roma’s interest in Zirkzee is also well documented, though the Dutch international has not been included in United’s last two Premier League squads for victories over Manchester City and Arsenal.
Sky Sports News confirmed that while Manchester United are aware of Roma’s interest, the club is not actively seeking to sell Zirkzee this month.
Sources indicate that the 23-year-old striker prefers to remain at Old Trafford despite limited playing time under interim head coach Michael Carrick.
Zirkzee’s omission from Premier League squads contrasts with the period under former manager Ruben Amorim, highlighting a change in tactical direction.
Juventus’ potential pursuit reflects their ongoing search for attacking reinforcements in the January transfer window.
The situation remains fluid, with discussions expected to continue as Juventus finalise their January transfer strategy.
