Juventus have made contact with Joshua Zirkzee’s representatives to assess his availability, positioning the Manchester United forward as an alternative while negotiations for Randal Kolo Muani continue, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport.
The Bianconeri have reportedly made enquiries about the terms of a potential deal. Manchester United are believed to value the Dutch forward at between €35 million and €40 million and could be open to discussing different transfer structures.
Kolo Muani remains Juventus’ priority target, but the club are unwilling to let negotiations with PSG drag on indefinitely. Juventus are therefore exploring alternative attacking options as they continue their pursuit of the French forward.
Zirkzee is not a new name on Juventus’ radar. The former Bologna forward has previously been considered by the club, and his availability has again been sounded out as the search for attacking reinforcements continues.
Zirkzee is not the only alternative being considered. Tottenham’s Richarlison and Parma’s Mateo Pellegrino are also on Juventus’ shortlist should a deal for Kolo Muani fail to materialise.
Zirkzee impressed in Serie A with Bologna before joining Manchester United. He is reportedly open to returning to Italy after a difficult spell at Old Trafford.
For now, Juventus are exploring alternatives while Kolo Muani remains their priority target.
