Joshua Zirkzee has struggled to get off the mark for Manchester United after joining for £36million in the summer.
The Dutch striker has netted just once in 17 appearances this season, scoring his only goal on the opening day against Fulham.
Reports of an early move back to Serie A have gained traction in the last month, suggesting that Zirkzee may be out of the door in January.
In light of this, a new report has revealed that United are offering £25m and Joshua Zirkzee for one of Europe’s superstars.

CalcioNapoli24 state that the Red Devils have their sights set on Galatasaray striker Victor Osimhen.
The Nigerian international is under contract at Napoli but is currently on loan in Turkey, where he has been in stellar form.
Osimhen has scored eight goals and provided four assists in only nine matches since joining Galatasaray.
His loan agreement with the club allows him to leave in January if Napoli accept a permanent offer.
However, Osimhen’s sale would not come cheap, as his release clause is estimated to be around £62m.
United are unwilling to trigger this option and have instead offered Zirkzee plus cash, which Napoli have some doubts over, as the Italian giants would prefer a full-cash sale of Osimhen.

Two other stumbling blocks which may also impact the deal are the two players themselves.
Osimhen’s high salary demands are thought to be a point of contention for United, as the 25-year-old earns roughly £200k per week and may demand more.
Furthermore, whether Zirkzee would be willing to leave United so soon after joining is unknown.
