Atalanta is exploring the possibility of acquiring Joshua Zirkzee after losing Mateo Retegui. Zirkzee, previously associated with Italian clubs, had a challenging season with Manchester United, scoring only seven goals and providing three assists in 49 appearances before getting injured late in the season.

Speculation about Joshua Zirkzee returning to Serie A, specifically to Atalanta, is fueled by his recent underperformance at Manchester United, where he scored only 3 goals in the Premier League. However, his salary makes this transfer difficult. Transfermarkt currently estimates his market value at 35 million euros.
