According to Gianluca Di Marzio, Juventus is showing significant interest in securing the services of Bologna’s standout player, Joshua Zirkzee, and has devised a clever strategy to acquire him, despite competition from Milan and Arsenal.
The 22-year-old Dutch forward has emerged as a sought-after prospect ahead of the upcoming summer transfer window, attracting attention from numerous clubs across Italy and Europe. Zirkzee has showcased his talent this season, netting 10 goals in 28 Serie A appearances for Thiago Motta’s Bologna.
Recent reports from Gazzetta dello Sport suggest that Zirkzee has made Milan his preferred destination for the summer transfer window. He has instructed his representatives to initiate discussions, expressing a preference for joining the Rossoneri over other suitors such as Arsenal, Juventus, and Manchester United.
Di Marzio’s insights indicate that Juventus has begun taking concrete steps to secure Zirkzee’s signature for the upcoming season, adding pressure on Bayern Munich. The Italian giants are urging Bayern to activate the €40 million buy-back clause, enabling negotiations between the two clubs.
Meanwhile, Arsenal has also expressed serious interest in the talented Dutch striker, offering a contract valued at approximately €6 million net per season. Milan remains in contention as well, although they may need to generate additional resources before entering into negotiations.
