Roma Prepare January Loan Bid for Manchester United’s Joshua Zirkzee
Limited minutes have put his World Cup hopes at risk, prompting consideration of a temporary move.
Overview
- Reports indicate Roma are lining up a January approach centered on a loan for the 24-year-old forward.
- Manchester United are expected to hold talks with Zirkzee before the winter window to evaluate pathways to more playing time.
- He has yet to start this season and has logged roughly 82 minutes following the arrivals of Matheus Cunha, Benjamin Sesko and Bryan Mbeumo.
- Roma are seen as preferring a loan that could include an option to buy to limit financial exposure.
- A return to Serie A is viewed as a good fit given his effective spell at Bologna and his aim to remain in contention for the Netherlands’ World Cup squad.
