Overview
- Roma and Manchester United are in talks over a loan for Joshua Zirkzee with an obligation to buy, according to Fabrizio Romano.
- Manchester United have inquired about Roma defender Evan Ndicka during those discussions, per AS Roma Live reports cited by UK outlets.
- Reports say a swap or sizeable offer involving Ndicka has been floated to accelerate negotiations, but no agreement has been announced.
- Ndicka is viewed as a key Roma player under contract until 2028 and is currently on Africa Cup of Nations duty, which complicates any transfer.
- Zirkzee’s opportunities under Ruben Amorim have been limited, and United’s stance is that he can leave only if an attacking signing arrives in January.
