Manchester United has been linked with several players in the current transfer window, but they have yet to initiate any formal negotiations.

According to Calciomercato.it, the Red Devils may be gearing up for their first winter signing with the assistance of agent Kia Joorabchian.

The report suggests that Juventus is in the market for a new striker and a significant swap deal may be in the works. Juventus is reportedly interested in acquiring Joshua Zirkzee, whom manager Thiago Motta views as an ideal addition to his team.

Calciomercato.it indicates that Joorabchian could facilitate a move for Zirkzee to Juventus, potentially involving his other client, Douglas Luiz, moving in the opposite direction. Manchester United is also keen on signing the 26-year-old Luiz.

Luiz joined Juventus from Aston Villa for £42 million last summer, but he has already been linked with a return to the Premier League.

United May Consider Zirkzee-Luiz SwapLuiz had a standout season in European football last year, contributing 10 goals and 10 assists in 53 appearances for Unai Emery’s side. His transfer to Juventus was prompted by PSR concerns, but he has struggled with form and consistency in Turin, making a return to England a possibility.

Nottingham Forest has expressed interest in him, but there are opinions suggesting that United should pursue a loan deal for the Brazilian. Luiz would be an excellent addition to strengthen United’s midfield, capable of playing as a defensive, central, or attacking midfielder.

His creativity and defensive skills could enhance the club’s performance. However, it remains uncertain whether Zirkzee would agree to a mid-season exchange, as he intends to remain at his current club and may reassess his future in the summer.
