Overview
- Manchester United are prepared to consider offers at around £30m for Joshua Zirkzee, who is under contract until 2029.
- Zirkzee wants a January move for regular minutes before the 2026 World Cup after logging just 82 Premier League minutes without a start this season.
- West Ham have made initial contact to explore a deal, with Roma, Juventus and Milan monitoring and Italy-based options likely to favor loan structures.
- Aston Villa could only pursue a permanent transfer in January due to the one-loan-per-club rule and United’s no-break clause in Jadon Sancho’s Villa deal, and Villa face PSR constraints.
- Competition from Matheus Cunha, Benjamin Šeško and Bryan Mbeumo has left Zirkzee outside Rúben Amorim’s preferred forward options.
