According to TuttoMercatoWeb, Juventus is accelerating its pursuit of Zirkzee, and the Dutch forward's return to Serie A is becoming increasingly likely. Zirkzee has already agreed to join Juventus, and Manchester United is also willing to let him go. If the move materializes, Spalletti's offensive tactics may need to be adjusted accordingly.

Zirkzee is eager to return to Italy and is very interested in working with Spalletti. He will also return to the league where he flourished under Thiago Motta at Bologna. Manchester United has given the green light for negotiations, but the structure of the deal still needs to be finalized: the English club prefers a loan with a mandatory purchase option, while Juventus is hoping for a loan with a conditional purchase option.

The final hurdle is Jonathan David. After Openda's departure, the Canadian forward became the most likely candidate to vacate a spot in the attacking line. David is unwilling to leave Turin after just one season, but in Spalletti's plans, his playing time has clearly diminished.
