AS Roma is aiming to return to the top four this season after seven years of not achieving it.
Last season, the club finished fifth, which was their best result since coming third in 2018.
Many top managers, including Claudio Ranieri and Jose Mourinho, have tried to revive the club’s fortunes during this time.
Currently, Gian Piero Gasperini is in charge, with Roma just one point behind second-place AC Milan.
Every match is crucial, as the manager aims to strengthen the team to improve their scoring ability, which has been lacking.
Despite sitting fifth, Roma has the third-lowest goals scored in the top half of the table, with only 24 goals in 20 matches, while the other top six teams average 32 goals.
To address this, Gasperini has signed Robinio Vaz and Donyell Malen but is also interested in Joshua Zirkzee.
According to Gianluca Di Marzio, even though Manchester United is hesitant to sell Zirkzee this month, Roma remains hopeful.
Zirkzee has not made a significant impact at Old Trafford and has seen limited playing time, resulting in him losing his spot on the Netherlands national team.
He is eager to move for more playing opportunities, but United appears to have shut down transfer talks.
However, with Bryan Mbeumo and Amad Diallo returning from the Africa Cup of Nations and Michael Carrick now managing, circumstances could change.
With two weeks left in the transfer window, a potential return to Italy for Joshua Zirkzee seems possible, as AS Roma offers a promising opportunity.
