Joshua Zirkzee scored for Manchester United against Tottenham Hotspur last week and then started for the club against Bournemouth.
He has four goals in all competitions for the Red Devils and got a brace against Everton some weeks ago.
Despite the recent increase in output, Zirkzee’s future remains in doubt and interest in him is rising from Italy.
Calciomercato’s Daniele Longo has reported today that Juventus still see the Dutchman as a target and Thiago Motta’s presence at the Bianconeri is likely going to play a key role in their move. That is because the striker operated under Motta at Bologna last season.
While Zirkzee’s agent Kia Joorabchian has been in touch with Juve and wants to give the Bianconeri a priority, Napoli’s interest is also rising.
Club sporting director Giovanni Manna holds the 23-year-old in high regard and manager Antonio Conte is also a fan of his profile. As a result, Zirkzee’s name has been discussed internally by those in charge at Napoli.
The Naples club’s move for the Netherlands man can be helped by Manchester United’s ‘strong interest’ in Victor Osimhen, who is on loan at Galatasaray.
The outlet reports that the Red Devils are leading the race for the Nigerian and that can make sure Napoli have a chance of landing Zirkzee.
