United could sign Brazilian star in superlative swap deal, Joorabchian could play major role | OneFootball

Manchester United have been linked with multiple players during the ongoing transfer window, but they have yet to make a formal approach.

Calciomercato claims the Red Devils could make their first winter signing with the help of agent Kia Joorabchian.

The Bianconeri are eyeing a new striker, and there is a possibility of a superlative swap deal on the cards.

Juventus are reportedly interested in signing Joshua Zirkzee, and manager Thiago Motta considers him to be a perfect fit for his squad.

Joorabchian could take Zirkzee to the Bianconeri in a swap deal that could see his other client, Douglas Luiz, move the other way.

The Red Devils are interested in signing the 26-year-old. Luiz only joined Juventus from Aston Villa for £42 million last summer, but he has already been linked with a return to England.

United could be tempted by a swap deal

Luiz was one of the best midfielders in European football last term, registering 10 goals and 10 assists in 53 outings for Unai Emery’s side.

His move to Juventus was forced due to financial concerns. Luiz has struggled for form and consistency in Turin and could return to the Premier League.

Nottingham Forest are showing interest Luiz, but United should make a loan swoop for the Brazilian.

Luiz would be a fantastic acquisition to bolster the midfield ranks at United. He can operate as a defensive, central or attacking midfielder.

His creativity and defensive attributes could improve the club’s results, but it is unclear whether Zirkzee would be open to a mid-season exchange deal.

Despite his struggles at United, the Dutchman intends to stay and has no plans to leave. He could assess his future during the summer.
