Joshua Zirkzee, a 25-year-old Dutch forward from Manchester United, has turned down the opportunity to sign with Fiorentina and is now considering a move back to Serie A to join Juventus. Fiorentina had proposed a loan of 5 million euros plus a 30 million euro buy option, while Juventus has already initiated talks with United.

Juventus's move is dependent on another transfer: Jonathan David's departure. The Canadian is not a priority in Luciano Spalletti's plans, and his exit would free up space to bring in another forward.

Joshua Zirkzee Turns Down Fiorentina's 35 Million Offer

Fiorentina had been pushing in the past days to bring Joshua Zirkzee back to Italian football. The offer to Manchester United included 5 million for the loan and an additional 30 million via a buy option.

The issue arose with the player's decision. Zirkzee did not give the green light to the destination and prefers to wait for Juventus, who have shown renewed interest in the closing hours of the transfer window.

Manchester United also does not intend to allow an exit below their valuation. Recent information from England places their demands at a minimum of approximately 35 million euros, having paid around 42.5 million to Bologna for his signing in 2024.

His time at Old Trafford has not fully solidified. Zirkzee has scored 9 goals in 75 matches since leaving Italy, stats that have contributed to his name resurfacing as a potential departure from United.

Juventus Awaits Jonathan David's Departure

Zirkzee's priority is to return to Serie A, a league he knows well from his time at Parma and Bologna. In Italy, he tallied 13 goals and 7 assists in 53 appearances before moving to the Premier League.

Juventus has directly inquired with Manchester United about the terms of the deal. According to Sky Sport Italia, the proposed deal also includes a paid loan with a buy option close to 30 million euros.

The Juventus sporting director has explored other possibilities as well. One of them is Nick Woltemade, with contacts made with Newcastle, although the Dutchman currently stands as the primary alternative.

Serie A's Fate Hinges on Jonathan David's Future

Everything revolves around Jonathan David. Juventus is working on his exit, and Atletico Madrid has negotiated a loan with a buy option for the Canadian, an operation that would allow Spalletti to modify his front line before the deadline.

The context favors Zirkzee as his prior experience in Italy reduces the adaptation period. With Bologna, he scored 11 goals and 5 assists in 34 Serie A matches during the 2023/24 season, his final campaign before joining United.

The next hours will determine if the move can materialize. Juventus must first resolve David's situation and then reach an economic agreement with Manchester United. If both conditions are met, Joshua Zirkzee will have the opportunity to return to Italy after rejecting Fiorentina's offer.
