Juventus reportedly have just one problem with signing Joshua Zirkzy from Manchester United in January.
Zirkzy, who just arrived at Manchester United from Bologna this summer, has struggled to adapt to life at Old Trafford.
In 12 matches in all competitions, Zirkzee scored only onceIn his debut match against Fulham.
He did provide an assist in last night’s 1-1 draw with Fenerbahçe, but struggled in his role as a striker and failed to register a single shot.
Now the Dutch forward appears to be regretting his move to United, with reports suggesting Zirkzy is willing to leave the club in the next transfer window.
Juventus emerged as leading contenders to sign Zirkzee in January, with The Peoples Person reporting that Zirkzee has already approved a move to the Serie A club.

Nonetheless, Guintoli’s ties to Zirkzee’s agents may have been enough to convince Joorabchian to relax his demands.
With Zirkzee constantly struggling to adapt to his new team and fellow striker Rasmus Hojlund outperforming him with impressive performances of late, the Dutch forward appears to be running out of time to prove himself a player United can rely on going forward. Perhaps a short-term loan would be good for Zirkzee’s development.
