It is Napoli who are keen on signing the striker now. AreaNapoli report that Max Allegri’s side are closely monitoring the Dutchman, who scored for the national team during the international break. This has also led to Napoli making initial contact for Zirkzee, as they have spoken to Manchester United about a possible deal. The discussions have been largely tentative but the situation could take shape further in the next few weeks. Allegri has expressed a positive opinion about the striker too, having not been too impressed by Lorenzo Lucca, who hasn’t exactly impressed.
