With the January transfer window approaching, Manchester United striker Joshua Zirkzee is attracting a lot of attention. Italian club Roma has made the first official move, starting talks with both the club and the player’s representatives to discuss a potential transfer.
The Dutch international, who previously played for Bologna, is expected to leave Man Utd in the winter, and several clubs are keen to sign him. Roma’s early move shows their strong interest, but securing the deal will not be easy due to the number of other interested teams.
🤔 Roma’s Ambitious Move
Roma has formally approached Manchester United to ask about Joshua Zirkzee’s availability. At the same time, they have also begun discussions with the striker’s agents to explore personal terms. This direct approach signals that the Serie A club is serious about bringing the former Bologna star back to Italy.

However, Roma is not the only club interested in the talented forward. They face strong competition from Premier League teams West Ham and Everton, who are also monitoring the situation. Furthermore, Dutch club PSV Eindhoven and Italian rivals Juventus have expressed interest, making the race to sign Zirkzee a competitive one.
📝 The Proposed Deal Structure
To make the transfer happen, Roma is reportedly proposing a loan deal with an option to buy. This means Zirkzee would join the club temporarily at first. The deal would only become permanent if certain conditions are met, such as the number of games he plays and whether Roma qualifies for a European competition next season. This structure helps manage the financial risk for the club.
