Transfer: Juventus propose Vlahovic-Zirkzee swap deal with Manchester United

Juventus have reportedly offered Serbian striker Dusan Vlahovic to Manchester United in exchange for Dutch forward Joshua Zirkzee.

Zirkzee, who joined United from Bologna for £36.5 million last summer, has struggled to find his footing in the Premier League, scoring just three goals so far.

His struggles were evident during United’s recent 2-0 loss to Newcastle, where fans sarcastically cheered his substitution.

Despite this, Zirkzee received vocal support from some fans during United’s 2-2 draw against Liverpool at Anfield.

However, Juventus see an opportunity to bring Zirkzee back to Serie A, where he thrived with Parma and Bologna, netting 13 league goals.

TalkSPORT reports that the Italian club has proposed a swap involving Vlahovic, who has 18 months left on his contract and is currently their top scorer with 12 goals this season.

Vlahovic, signed by Juventus for £67 million in January 2022, has been linked with Premier League moves, with Arsenal and Chelsea previously showing interest.

A switch to United could offer him a fresh challenge and a chance to compete for a starting spot alongside Rasmus Hojlund under manager Ruben Amorim.
