Roma Step Up Move for Man United’s Joshua Zirkzee With Loan-Plus-Obligation Offer

Roma have proposed a January loan with an obligation to buy that delays a €25–30m payment until summer.

Overview

  • Italian reports say Zirkzee has approved the switch after limited minutes under Rúben Amorim, including just one Premier League start.
  • Manchester United are open to letting the forward go but prefer an immediate permanent sale rather than deferred terms.
  • Squad-depth concerns in January, including potential AFCON absences for Amad Diallo and Bryan Mbeumo, are part of United’s calculus.
  • Roma’s plan is designed to fit UEFA winter spending limits, with the obligation safeguarding a guaranteed transfer once the season ends.
  • Talks are expected to accelerate before the window opens, and no agreement has been reached yet.
