Manchester United and Juventus Nearing Agreement for Forward

Juventus has reportedly submitted an official offer to Manchester United for Joshua Zirkzee, according to transfer expert Gianluca Di Marzio. The Bianconeri's proposal is for a €2.5 million loan fee for the current season, with an additional €30 million non-mandatory option to buy the player at the end of the campaign. Manchester United has set a price of €35 million for the Dutchman, and with the gap between the two clubs being relatively small, an agreement is anticipated.

A complication in the situation is the Red Devils' desire to secure a replacement for Zirkzee before finalizing any deal with Juventus. In recent hours, various potential replacements have been mentioned, with Alexander Sørloth from Atlético Madrid being one of the names. The Dutch forward was also a target for Fiorentina, but negotiations with the Viola ultimately fell through, reportedly because Zirkzee favored Juventus's offer.
