Overview
- Talks are ongoing and reports say Zirkzee remains Roma’s top target, with personal terms broadly in place pending Manchester United’s go‑ahead.
- Zirkzee’s camp has conveyed that he wants a transfer this month despite the managerial change, according to reporting relayed by Yahoo Sports.
- Roma sporting director Ricky Massara said the situation has changed following Ruben Amorim’s dismissal and noted parallel negotiations involving Giacomo Raspadori.
- United are described as reluctant to sanction an exit until short-term attacking cover improves or a replacement is secured, a stance linked to AFCON absences.
- The 24-year-old joined United from Bologna in 2024 for a fee in the mid‑£30m range and has nine goals in 63 appearances on a multi-year contract.
