Manchester United forward Joshua Zirkzee is once again the subject of transfer talk, with Juventus and Como 1907 both preparing to make a move for him when the January window opens.
The Dutch international, who arrived at Old Trafford from Bologna in 2024 for a reported €42.5 million, has not enjoyed much playing time this season.
New manager Ruben Amorim has preferred other attacking options, leaving Zirkzee frustrated on the bench.
Como, newly promoted to Serie A and coached by Cesc Fàbregas, are pushing to add quality to their squad. The club’s American owners want to build a strong project, and Zirkzee could be the star striker they need to compete at the top level.

Juventus, meanwhile, remain long-term admirers of the 24-year-old. With doubts still surrounding their attacking depth, the Turin giants see Zirkzee as a potential boost in the second half of the campaign.
Manchester United must now decide whether to send Zirkzee out on loan for regular minutes, or to consider a permanent sale. Given the size of their original investment, a transfer would likely require a substantial fee.

For Zirkzee, the next few months will be crucial. Staying at Old Trafford could mean fighting for his place, but a move to Italy might give him the consistent football he needs to reach his potential.
