Manchester United are reportedly willing to let Joshua Zirkzee go this summer as he attracts interest from clubs in Serie A.
The Netherlands international has struggled at Old Trafford, despite looking like an exciting signing when he first joined.
It now seems that Man Utd could be ready to let Zirkzee go after just one season, with sources close to the situation informing CaughtOffside that he can leave for less than €40m.
This has put Italian clubs on alert, with Juventus and Inter Milan among his main admirers, while Fiorentina could also make a move if they end up losing top scorer Moise Kean this summer.

It seems unlikely that Zirkzee will be able to turn his career around in the Premier League, with Ruben Amorim likely to be keen to revamp this struggling squad in the summer.
One imagines Zirkzee won’t be the only player shown the door, but it will be interesting to see if this ends up being one decision the club lives to regret.
Before his injury, Zirkzee had arguably started to show some signs of real improvement, and some MUFC fans might think it’s worth being a bit more patient with him.
After all, even Antony has been able to get back to his best since joining Real Betis on loan in January.

Would a loan move be the best solution?
Zirkzee is understood to be of interest in a loan deal for Serie A clubs, so it’s possible that he won’t end up leaving permanently.
That could then give the 23-year-old a chance to show what he can do again, and perhaps lead to him winning his place back at United in the future.
United clearly need to make changes in attack this summer, so Zirkzee exit talk isn’t too surprising, but a loan perhaps makes more sense than a permanent sale right now.
