Reports from Crickex Affiliate reveal that Joshua Zirkzee, currently struggling for minutes at Manchester United, is considering a return to Serie A — following a path similar to Rasmus Højlund’s. The Danish striker’s move to Napoli last summer turned out to be a success story. Trusted by Antonio Conte, Højlund has become an integral part of Napoli’s attack, filling in perfectly after Romelu Lukaku’s injury. His form in Italy has reignited his career, showing that sometimes a change of scenery is all it takes to get back on track.

Zirkzee, on the other hand, hasn’t enjoyed the same fortune in Manchester. Although he ended last season with flashes of promise, an injury stopped his momentum. This season, with newcomers like Sesko, Cunha, and Mbeumo ahead of him in the pecking order, the Dutch forward’s opportunities have nearly vanished. People close to Crickex Affiliate say he’s grown frustrated with the situation and wants a fresh start — ideally in a league where he can rediscover his best form.

Sources from Italy, including transfer insider Fabrizio Romano, report that Zirkzee’s agent has already reached out to multiple Serie A clubs ahead of the next transfer window. The 23-year-old hopes to return to familiar ground, where he once impressed with Bologna. Much like Højlund’s move back to Italy, Zirkzee believes a return could help him regain confidence and consistency. Observers from Crickex Affiliate also note that his combination of technique and tactical awareness fits perfectly with the rhythm of Italian football.

Several clubs have expressed interest in bringing him back. Napoli are reportedly leading the race, with Conte eager to reunite the former United duo of Højlund and Zirkzee. The manager is said to have faith in the player’s potential and wants to rebuild his confidence in a system that rewards intelligent movement and creativity. Fans even joke that Conte has become so fond of ex-United players that he might end up managing them one day at Old Trafford.

Juventus are another strong contender, with coach Igor Tudor known for valuing Zirkzee’s versatility and technical touch. Inter Milan, meanwhile, are keeping a distant watch — they might only act if other negotiations collapse and the fee drops within reach.

As the January transfer window approaches, Zirkzee’s name has become a hot topic again. The young striker is at a crossroads, eager to prove that his story at the top level is far from over. Whether it’s Naples, Turin, or Milan, his next move could define the next phase of his career. Crickex Affiliate will keep a close eye as he searches for the right place to start anew.
