Overview
- AS Roma director Frederic Massara said Manchester United clearly refused a January deal for Zirkzee and have not shifted position.
- Roma had pursued a loan with a conditional obligation to buy and even sent terms to the player's representatives, according to reports.
- With Zirkzee unavailable, Roma completed a loan for Donyell Malen with a £21.6m fee agreed for the summer.
- Zirkzee has started only four Premier League games this season and was left out of the bench for United's 2-0 win over Manchester City.
- Juventus are reported to view Zirkzee as a fallback target if their move for Crystal Palace striker Jean-Philippe Mateta does not materialise.
