Juventus is reportedly eyeing two potential striker acquisitions for the upcoming summer transfer window. According to Tuttosport, Joshua Zirkzee’s agent has informed the Turin giants that his client is available. Simultaneously, Gazzetta dello Sport suggests that the Bianconeri maintain a strong interest in Randal Kolo Muani, especially given PSG’s reported interest in Juventus’ own Jonathan David.
The club is widely expected to bolster its attacking options with a new centre-forward this summer, regardless of Dusan Vlahovic’s potential contract extension.
Latest Juventus transfer news on Zirkzee and Kolo Muani
Jonathan David, who arrived as a free agent last summer, has reportedly not fully impressed in his first season at the Allianz Stadium, prompting the Serie A giants to consider offers for him this summer.
Gazzetta further suggests that PSG sporting director Luis Campos, who was instrumental in bringing David to Lille previously, is now contemplating a reunion with the Canadian forward in Paris.
David, who netted 87 goals in 178 Ligue 1 appearances before his free transfer to Juventus last summer, could be central to a potential swap deal. Juventus is reportedly open to a transaction involving the Canadian striker and Kolo Muani, who is not expected to remain at Tottenham beyond the summer.
Juventus reportedly made an attempt to secure Kolo Muani’s services in the January transfer window, but Tottenham declined to release the French forward. He is still expected to return to Paris upon the conclusion of his loan period in June.
With both Kolo Muani and David commanding salaries in the range of €6m to €7m per season, a direct swap deal could prove financially advantageous for Juventus, especially given PSG’s reported valuation of Kolo Muani at €40m.
Meanwhile, Tuttosport reports that another potential summer target for the Bianconeri is former Bologna standout Joshua Zirkzee.
The Dutch forward has reportedly made the decision to depart Manchester United at the close of the current season. His agent, Kia Joorabchian, has already communicated to Juventus’ directors that Zirkzee is available for a transfer this summer.
