Joshua Zirkzee may leave Manchester United in the upcoming January transfer window.
Since joining the club in 2023, Zirkzee has played 59 matches and scored eight goals.
Before Manchester United, he netted 14 goals in 58 appearances for Bologna.
This season, Zirkzee has only played ten times, which has sparked interest from other clubs.
One of those clubs is AS Roma.
Currently fourth in Serie A, Roma has shown interest in Zirkzee, proposing a conditional purchase deal.
Recently, they have also looked at backup options in case their pursuit of Zirkzee doesn’t succeed.
According to Fabrizio Romano on his YouTube channel, Roma is progressing in negotiations with Zirkzee regarding personal terms as a top winter target.
However, the deal still relies on United’s decision, and Roma hopes to secure Zirkzee quickly.
At present, Manchester United has several players sidelined due to injury and the Africa Cup of Nations, which may complicate the transfer.
The situation now shifts to Roma to see how their discussions unfold and whether they can move forward.
In the meantime, attention may also be on Ruben Amorim and United’s management to determine their next steps regarding player injuries and those participating in the Cup.
For now, both Zirkzee’s representatives and Roma will continue their talks.
