“If you were to ask me for a functional profile at Juventus for January, I would answer like this: I would borrow Zirkzee from Manchester United. They’ve been making crazy choices there for a few years and nothing is working, not even Zirkzee.” The idea is Paolo Di Canioformer striker who, interviewed by Tuttosport‘advises’ the Juventus club to try to bring the Dutch striker back to Italy after his experience in Bologna.
The former Lazio player explains the reasons which, in his opinion, would make a loan of the player feasible: “For the Premier League he’s a bit too slow, then maybe he’ll prove me wrong with goals and great performances, but there they attack you straight away and blow the whistle. 30% fewer fouls, in Italy we saw the impact the player had on Bologna – he recalls – In the end, in the confusion at United, they could also loan him out: they already have Hojlund, then there is It’s Rashford who is playing in that position. It would be the perfect profile, also because it would allow Motta to have a striker with different characteristics from Vlahovic. I would start the negotiation now: a loan with perhaps the possibility of buying him out: Zirkzee is not a scorer. devastating, he’s not one to score 25 goals, but he makes the others play well.”
