A player who plays well in Serie A doesn't necessarily make it a good fit for the Premier League. Because the pace of the Premier League is much higher than that of Serie A, it's okay to do slow action in Serie A, and the Premier League is basically high-pressure and forced defense. Zirkze is such a player, who played well in Serie A, and after joining Manchester United in the Premier League this season, he scored four goals and two assists in 25 games in all competitions, which is completely unqualified as a striker.
According to the latest news from journalist Rongo, Zirkze will leave Manchester United at the end of the season, which is a relief for both, with United valuing Zirkze at €40 million.
Manchester United signed Zirkze from Bologna for €42.5 million in the summer window, when the Dutch striker was valued at €50 million. Juventus' new boss Motta has previously been in charge of Bologna and won the Champions League, and he and Zirkze have had a happy time in Bologna. Manchester United wanted to sell Zirkze, and Motta strongly recommended Juventus to sign him, believing that Zirkze would play an important tactical role in his Juventus squad.
Zirkze is 1.93 meters tall, but his heading ability is very poor, and he doesn't like to kick the ball with his head, and he is very characteristic of passing the ball, but the frequency is slow, and it is difficult to adapt to the high-speed Premier League. Motta knows how to use Zirkze, and Vlahovic could be a good pair up front. Zirkze's current value has dropped to 42 million euros, and Juventus are expected to bring in a transfer fee of less than 40 million euros.
It is reported that Zirkze's agent has been in contact with Juventus, and the player will give priority to Juventus director Giontoli's offer, and Zirkze is eager to renew his mentorship with Motta. Manchester United are selling Zirkze in a bid to bring in Napoli striker (Galatasaray on loan) Tchouameni.
