Xabi Alonso means that a struggling Manchester United misfit might not be able to make a move in January.

Juventus wants to sign Joshua Zirkzee from Manchester United, but he hasn’t done much so far. Instead, they want to sign Patrick Schick from Bayer Leverkusen.

Joshua ZIrkzee might not be able to move to Juventus in January because Patrick Schick’s role at Bayer Leverkusen has been reduced by Xabi Alonso.

The big teams in Italy are looking at their choices in the final third and want to add more players to help Dusan Vlahovic. They will have to buy someone because Arkadiusz Milik got hurt. Zirkzee is seen as a more likely target for the summer.

For now, they are ready to go after Schick, who has had a hard time getting minutes at the German champs. Victor Boniface hasn’t had many chances at Leverkusen because Alonso has chosen to use Victor Boniface.

Gazzetta dello Sport claims that Juventus has been interested in Schick for a long time and is ready to go after him again, this time on loan. The Dutch forward for Manchester United is the player they want in the summer, even though he hasn’t done much while with the Premier League giants.

Thiago Motta, who did a great job with Bologna last season, is now in charge of the Bianconeri. The team in Serie A put Zirkzee in charge of their attack, and he had a great season scoring goals, which led Manchester United to offer £36.5 million to sign him.

But the club’s leaders pushed for the move because they thought Zirzkee was a good deal for the money. but Erik ten Hag didn’t want to bring him in. He was furious when the 23-year-old showed up at Old Trafford carrying extra weight.

In Zirkzee’s first game for United, they beat Fulham and won the first weekend of the season. But he hasn’t scored since then, and Ten Hag was upset about the situation before he was fired.

The Dutch striker hasn’t scored in any of his last 14 United games. It was thought that he could get back on track while on international duty, but Ronald Koeman, the manager of the Netherlands, didn’t want to talk about his striker. “What did I think of Zirkzee’s performance? “I’m not going to talk about how each player did,” he said.

Viktor Gyokeres of Sporting Lisbon is being talked about as a possible move to Manchester. He did very well under Ruben Amorim and is still one of the best players in Europe right now. Because of that, things could change for Zirkzee and Rasmus Hojlund.
