Milan Reopen Talks on Zirkzee as Roma Face New Competition for January Move

Manchester United are setting terms that point to a permanent sale or a loan with a €35 million purchase obligation.

Overview

AC Milan have resumed informal talks with Joshua Zirkzee’s agent, Kia Joorabchian, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport.
Roma still regard Zirkzee as their priority striker target for January after Evan Ferguson’s loan failed and he is set to return to Brighton.
Manchester United are open to a loan only if it includes an obligation to buy at about €35 million, with a preference for a permanent transfer.
Milan are reported to favor a simple option-to-buy structure and are also evaluating Niclas Füllkrug and Mauro Icardi as alternatives.
No agreement has been reached, with Roma weighing financing and outgoing business as Milan’s renewed interest raises the stakes for a deal.
