The Bianconeri are actively searching for a new center forward, and Zirkzee has emerged as a viable alternative if negotiations for Jean-Philippe Mateta do not succeed.
Recent developments indicate that Juventus has made concrete contacts with Crystal Palace and Mateta’s representatives, with discussions pointing towards a potential loan agreement that includes an obligation to purchase.
Meanwhile, Juventus continues to weigh their options regarding Zirkzee. It remains to be seen if Roma will make a strong bid for the Dutch forward or if they will consider other alternatives to enhance their attack in light of Juventus’ interest.
