Overview
- Multiple Italian reports say United are now open to a loan for Joshua Zirkzee, with some claiming no obligation to buy, while UK reports contend he has been told there is no chance of a January exit.
- Roma are pursuing the striker as a priority target with frequent contact, and AC Milan have held talks with his entourage about a possible deal.
- Zirkzee has played roughly 90–92 minutes across five appearances this season, and Netherlands manager Ronald Koeman has warned his lack of club action could affect selection.
- Further movement could hinge on United’s forward plans, with reports of Jorge Mendes holding talks over Borussia Dortmund’s Karim Adeyemi seen as a potential factor.
- Interest is not limited to Serie A, with West Ham and Everton linked as possible January destinations if a loan becomes negotiable.
