Reports on Sunday say Juventus are considering a move for Manchester United forward Joshua Zirkzee and are looking at a deal structure similar to Barcelona’s recent acquisition of Marcus Rashford from Manchester United. According to the reports, Juventus are attempting to secure Zirkzee in a way that reflects how Rashford was signed last summer, rather than pursuing a straightforward transfer.
The same coverage also suggests Juventus are weighing other options from Chelsea if negotiations for Zirkzee do not progress. While the outlets agree on Juventus’ interest in matching the “Rashford-style” approach and point to potential Chelsea alternatives, the specifics of the alternatives and the exact terms being sought are not fully detailed in the provided excerpts.
Overall, the reporting frames the situation as ongoing planning by Juventus: an active pursuit of Zirkzee, paired with contingency interest in Chelsea players if a deal cannot be reached. No agreement is reported in the available text, and the links are presented as part of current transfer discussions.
