Napoli Places Zirkzee on Its January Radar
Napoli are reportedly ready to move for Manchester United's Joshua Zirkzee in January if their move for Varela falls through. The report covers Napoli's plan to strengthen their attack and Zirkzee's lack of regular game time at Old Trafford.
Napoli are reported to be ready to make a January move for Manchester United's Joshua Zirkzee. According to Sport Mediaset, the step would be taken if their first choice, Monza's Gustavo Varela, does not join the club.
Napoli plan to return to the market mid-season to strengthen their squad. The club's main priority is to reinforce the attack. At present, apart from Rasmus Højlund, they have no striker who can be relied on in big matches. The departures of Lorenzo Lucca and Noa Lang are also expected developments.
Varela, 21, scored nine goals in Monza's first 10 Serie A matches and has caught Napoli's attention. However, Juventus, Arsenal and Manchester United are also interested in the player.
Zirkzee, meanwhile, moved from Bologna to Manchester United in 2024 for a fee of more than 42.5 million euros. He has struggled to earn regular playing time at Old Trafford. With Manchester United having dismissed Michael Carrick and appointed Mauricio Pochettino in his place, there is talk that Zirkzee's future may lie elsewhere.
