The summer transfer window in Europe may be closed, but the rumour mill is already in full swing with potential moves and deals being discussed. Juventus has reportedly expressed interest in Bologna striker Joshua Zirkzee, joining Arsenal and AC Milan in pursuit of the 22-year-old talent. Zirkzee, who has been a key player for Bologna this season, scoring 10 league goals and providing four assists, has attracted attention from top clubs.
While Zirkzee is currently under contract with Bologna, Juventus has initiated talks with Bayern Munich, who have a clause allowing them to re-sign the Dutch striker after he left in 2022. Should Bayern exercise this option, Juventus is prepared to negotiate for his services. Arsenal is also in the mix, offering a substantial salary to lure Zirkzee to their squad for the upcoming season.
AC Milan is another contender vying for Zirkzee's signature as they seek a potent striker for their frontline. Juventus is eyeing further acquisitions from Bologna, with reports suggesting a potential move for Thiago Motta as manager if Massimiliano Allegri departs. Additionally, they are leading the race to secure 21-year-old defender Riccardo Calafiori.
On the transfer front, Juventus is looking to offload players like Matìas Soulè, Samuel Iling-Junior, and Moise Kean to finance a move for Teun Koopmeiners from Atalanta. Atletico Madrid is reportedly interested in Fulham's Andreas Pereira, with the player keen on staying in the Premier League amidst offers from various clubs.
Real Madrid has set sights on River Plate's Franco Mastantuono, a 16-year-old attacking midfielder with a €45m release clause. Manchester City has secured a deal for winger Sávio, who impressed during his loan spell at Girona. Lazio is eyeing a move for Ibrahima Sissoko as a free agent when his contract with Strasbourg expires, facing competition from Fiorentina and Bologna for the 26-year-old midfielder.
