Juventus negotiates with Zirkzee as United holds firm on valuation

Summary

Juventus has initiated talks with Joshua Zirkzee's representatives regarding a potential summer transfer. The negotiation faces a deadlock due to Manchester United's firm €35–40 million valuation, which they insist must include a permanent exit. Juventus' interest in Zirkzee comes amid struggles to secure Randal Kolo Muani from PSG. The two clubs differ significantly, with United seeking guaranteed terms while Juventus requires flexibility amid tighter financial constraints. Both clubs remain positioned for strategic decisions as the transfer window progresses.
