Juventus ready to offer Manchester United two players in exchange for Zirkzee

Juventus has proposed a swap deal with Manchester United for striker Joshua Zirkzee, offering two Brazilian players—Douglas Luiz and Danilo—in return.

Details. According to Italian outlet Calciomercato, Juventus coach Thiago Motta is keen to bring Zirkzee into his squad, having worked with him at Bologna. However, due to financial constraints, the club is looking for a swap deal. Juventus is offering two experienced Brazilian players—Douglas Luiz and Danilo—for the young striker.

Juventus does not intend to sell Luiz permanently but is open to loaning him out to reduce the financial burden. According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the club's sporting director recently met with Zirkzee's agent Kia Joorabchian, who also represents Douglas Luiz.
