Transfer: Juventus offer Man United Vlahovic for Zirkzee in a shock swap deal

Zirkzee joined the Red Devils for a fee worth £36.5 million from Bologna during the summer transfer window.

However, the striker has failed to live up to the expectations in his first six months at Old Trafford.

The Dutch international has only managed three goals and just one assist in his first 20 games for Man United this season.

The Dutchman has had a challenging start to his career and is being linked with a move to Juventus.

According to talkSPORT, Zirkzee is now planning to return to Italy immediately this month.

Juventus is prepared to make a swap deal with the Red Devils to bring him to Italy, with Vlahovic heading to Old Trafford.

Juventus are considering the best way to let the 24-year-old leave since they do not want to lose him for nothing.

Vlahovic, who was signed for £67 million from Fiorentina in 2022, has scored 12 goals this season across all competitions.

However, he is yet to sign a new contract with the Old Lady, with his deal set to expire in 18 months.

There have reportedly been discussions about an extension, but no agreement has been reached, according to reports from Italy.
