Como & Juventus want to sign Man Utd striker

Serie A duo Como and Juventus are looking at the prospect of signing Manchester United striker Joshua Zirkzee, according to Tuttosport.

The Dutchman has been a fringe player for the Red Devils over the past two seasons and he could pursue a new challenge this summer.

Juventus were already keen on the former Bologna man, but could face fresh competition from Como as they prepare for their Champions League debut.

United are open to parting ways with Zirkzee. They are willing to accept an initial loan deal with an obligation to buy for £26-30 million.

Juventus seem the most interested between the two, but they are likely to explore a loan with a conditional obligation for a purchase.

As things stand, talks are at an exploratory stage, but there could be more progress in the coming days, with United and Zirkzee open to a deal.

United are likely to pursue a new striker if the Dutchman exits.
