Roma Push for Zirkzee as Manchester United Delay January Decision

United are postponing any approval because injuries and AFCON absences have thinned Ruben Amorim's squad.

Overview

  • Roma have progressed on personal terms with Joshua Zirkzee, who is open to the move as Gian Piero Gasperini prioritizes him for January.
  • Italian reports detail a proposal of a €5m loan in January, €30m payable in June, and up to €5m in bonuses tied to targets.
  • United have not sanctioned an exit and plan to decide later in the window, with ESPN reporting no formal club-to-club agreement to date.
  • Some Italian claims that the transfer is effectively done are disputed by UK reporting, which stresses the deal remains under negotiation.
  • United value Zirkzee at roughly £30.5m, with West Ham among other suitors, and any move could be influenced by their pursuit of Antoine Semenyo and AFCON return timelines.
