Transfer Developments
Manchester United are facing a potential last-minute departure on deadline day, with Everton having officially submitted an offer for striker Joshua Zirkzee. The move follows complications regarding the Merseyside club’s pursuit of Folarin Balogun, forcing them to pivot toward the Dutch forward.
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has confirmed the approach, noting that Everton initiated contact with Manchester United specifically to secure Zirkzee should the Balogun deal collapse entirely. The final decision now rests with the Old Trafford hierarchy, who have spent the last 48 hours rejecting various inquiries from Italian clubs.
Zirkzee’s Uncertain Future
The Netherlands international had previously been linked with a return to Serie A, with interest surfacing from Fiorentina, Juventus, Napoli, and Como. While Zirkzee reportedly turned down a move to Florence in hopes of securing a transfer to Turin, Juventus ultimately opted to sign Newcastle’s Nick Woltemade instead. This development initially suggested the versatile attacker would remain at Old Trafford.
However, Zirkzee’s prospects for regular playing time under Michael Carrick appeared limited. Despite his strong performance during pre-season, the 25-year-old was not utilized by the manager during the opening two Premier League fixtures. With the transfer window closing, it remains to be seen if a move to join David Moyes’ side will materialize. Should the former Bologna standout depart, United will likely need to secure a backup striker to ensure Benjamin Sesko is not overburdened.

The report also notes that the move was necessitated after Folarin Balogun’s move to the Merseyside outfit ran into issues.

The report also notes that “Decision up to United as they rejected approaches from Italy in last 48h.”. The report also notes that minutes would have been limited considering Michael Carrick did not turn to the 25-year-old for the first two Premier League games despite the United No.11’s heroics during pre-season. The report also notes that man Utd set to submit an official bid for PL star as soon as Zirkzee move is finalised Football365.
