Juventus make contact for Bologna’s Joshua Zirkzee

Serie A giants Juventus have made contact for Bologna striker Joshua Zirkzee, who has also been linked with many other clubs.

The Dutchman is said to be a key target for Milan in the summer and Arsenal have also drawn links with the striker. Sky Italia (via TMW) have reported about Juve’s interest in the Bologna striker and they now see the ex-Bayern Munich youngster as a concrete target.

Initial contact has already been made by Juve and they have looked at an indirect way of signing him. They have spoken to Bayern Munich, so that the German club signs Zirkzee permanently and Juve can then speak to the Bavarian club about signing him later in the window.

Cristiano Guintoli was recently in Munich to speak to Bayern about a potential deal that they could try to execute in the summer. Arsenal have also made contact in recent weeks and they are willing to offer about 6 million per season to the Dutchman in what is a big salary.
