Overview
- Roma director Ricky Massara says Manchester United have completely closed off transfer discussions, making a deal for Joshua Zirkzee highly improbable.
- Corriere della Sera reports United have taken Zirkzee off the market after Ruben Amorim’s dismissal, effectively freezing talks with Roma.
- La Gazzetta dello Sport reports Zirkzee remains willing to join Roma, with a proposed loan plus €38m obligation and a reported €3.5m-per-year offer outlined in talks.
- Roma continue work on Giacomo Raspadori and have assessed alternatives such as Robinio Vaz and Lorenzo Lucca to address attacking needs.
- Juventus have renewed interest in United full-back Noussair Mazraoui, though reports indicate United are not under pressure to sell during January and the player is contracted through 2028 with an option.
