Manchester United are in negotiations to acquire Napoli's attacker Joshua Zirkzee for £37 million, as confirmed by Sky Sports. This comes after Romelu Lukaku's departure to Fenerbahce, with United reportedly looking to offload their star this summer. Napoli has also shown interest in Nicolas Jackson from Chelsea and Gabriel Jesus from Arsenal.
Any offers for these strikers will have to wait until Massimiliano Allegri's team completes another forward's sale. United is reportedly open to letting Zirkzee leave, possibly on loan, but a buy obligation would be needed to prevent a situation similar to Marcus Rashford's, where Barcelona wanted to sign him before his buy option expired.
Zirkzee's time at United has been limited, with only five starts last season and his performance potentially impacted by United's early cup exits and lack of European football. The 25-year-old joined the club for £36.5 million in 2024, making nine goals and four assists in 75 appearances across all competitions, which is why INEOS is considering selling him after just two seasons.
