Manchester United will entertain offers below €40 million for Dutch striker Joshua Zirkzee, just a year after signing him amid high expectations.
Club sources say new manager Ruben Amorim wants greater mobility in the forward line and is willing to sacrifice the 23-year-old to raise funds.
Injuries Stall Early Momentum
Zirkzee showed flashes of promise before a mid-season injury curtailed his progress.
Despite calls from supporters for patience, United cannot guarantee him regular minutes under Amorim’s high-pressing blueprint.
Juventus and Inter Headline Italian Interest
Both Juventus and Inter Milan have asked about a permanent move, though they may initially propose a loan with an option to buy.
Fiorentina could enter the race if they lose Moise Kean, while Bologna and Atalanta monitor the situation.
Loan Could Suit All Parties
A season in Serie A would grant Zirkzee the minutes he needs, while United could showcase him for a future sale without fully writing off their investment.
The club adopted a similar tactic with Antony, who rediscovered form on loan at Real Betis before returning to Old Trafford.
Wider Overhaul on the Horizon
Amorim is expected to sanction several exits as he reshapes a squad that finished sixth in the Premier League.
Whether via a cut-price sale or a structured loan, negotiations over Zirkzee are likely to intensify once the market opens on 1 July.
