Interest from Germany in Dutch centre-forward Joshua Zirkzee, 24, is increasing, with Bayer Leverkusen and Borussia Dortmund both monitoring his situation. A return to the Bundesliga, where he previously developed with Bayern Munich, is considered a possibility. His current club, Manchester United, have reportedly informed the player's representatives that he can leave this summer, though they will not accept a price lower than the fee of over £35 million they paid for him. While German clubs are monitoring him, TEAMtalk understands that Italy is currently seen as Zirkzee's most likely destination, with Juventus, Roma, Atalanta, and Como having all shown strong interest. The Netherlands international, who has 6 caps and 1 goal for his country, has scored 2 goals and provided 1 assist in 18 Premier League appearances this season. In March 2026, the asking price was reportedly between €25-35 million, while a potential loan-to-buy deal with Roma in January 2026 was valued at approximately €38 million.
