Overview
- Local and Italian outlets report he could be in Rome by mid-January if terms are agreed, following direct talks with sporting director Ricky Massara.
- Coach Gian Piero Gasperini has outlined a 3-4-2-1 role, using Zirkzee either as the focal striker or as one of two attacking midfielders.
- Manchester United are weighing the timing, with reports indicating they prefer to wait until their Africa Cup of Nations absentees return before a decision.
- The 24-year-old has logged just over 400 first-team minutes this season, and United are open to selling if the offer is right despite his contract running to 2029.
- If completed at the reported figures, the move would set a Roma record fee, surpassing the €36.5 million paid for Gabriel Batistuta in 2000.
