Romano: Atletico Madrid Interested in Signing Jonathan David, Juventus May Consider Signing Zirkzee if Player Leaves
ScoreFast365 August 26 - Recently, transfer expert Romano reported that Juventus forward Jonathan David has caught the attention of Atletico Madrid, who have made preliminary inquiries about the player's transfer in the past few hours. If David ultimately leaves, Dutch forward Zirkzee may become a backup option for the Bianconeri to strengthen their attack.
Romano pointed out that currently, Atletico and Juventus are only in the communication stage via phone, and no formal offer has been submitted yet. Meanwhile, Manchester United is open to Zirkzee's transfer but insists on including a mandatory buyout clause in the deal, allowing the club to immediately pursue a new forward after letting him go. This stance has become a key point of contention in negotiations.
It is reported that, in addition to Juventus, several other clubs have shown interest in Zirkzee. Manchester United has made it clear that if Zirkzee leaves before the transfer window closes, the team will sign a replacement forward; if he stays, the Red Devils will allocate the remaining budget entirely to strengthening the left-back position. With only a few days left in the summer window, Zirkzee's future will be one of the focal points in the coming days.
