Juventus Planning Italian Job for United’s Zirkzee…
It seems Juventus has developed a keen eye for Manchester United striker Joshua Zirkzee, who has been finding it tough to dazzle at Old Trafford with a meager three goals in 27 Premier League outings. After some boos accompanied his early exit against Newcastle United in January, Zirkzee’s form took a delightful U-turn. Now, rumors swirl about a romantic reunion with Italy, a move which Juve’s head honcho hasn’t outright dismissed.
Juve head honcho Giuntoli has been coy about naming names but hinted that they’re on the prowl for players who could bring some pizzazz to Turin. With whispers of selling Dusan Vlahovic just to make room for a Zirkzee encore, this transfer soap opera could have quite the twist. Juve’s coach, Thiago Motta, is apparently still smitten by Zirkzee from their Bologna days, likely pinning the Dutch dynamo’s picture onto his vision board.
Zirkzee graced Bologna’s turf for two seasons and left quite a mark with 12 goals in 37 matches. Motta has a sky-high opinion of the Dutch dynamo, likening him to the legendary Ronaldinho and Ibrahimovic—not in skill, maybe in spirit. Who wouldn’t want a chance to dance to that tune again?
Forget Shakespeare’s “to be or not to be”, the question is: will it be pasta or pies for Zirkzee next season? Pack your bags, Zirkzee; sunny Italy might just come calling!
