Joshua Zirkzee Transfer from Manchester United to Roma
Joshua Zirkzee has agreed to a loan move to Roma. According to Gazzetta dello Sport, Roma has made a new offer to Manchester United for Zirkzee, proposing a loan that would become permanent if they qualify for the Champions League. It remains uncertain whether Manchester United will sanction a move, which may depend on the club finding a replacement. It is claimed Zirkzee is nearer to completing a deal.
According to TEAMtalk’s Dean Jones, while Roma would take Joshua Zirkzee on loan, United would prefer a permanent deal to be attached. Tuttomercatoweb editor Niccolo Ceccarini reports that United and Roma are willing to compromise by including an option to buy in the loan deal, which would become an obligation if Roma were to qualify for the Champions League.
According to Gazzetta dello Sport, Manchester United are prepared to permit Joshua Zirkzee's departure in the upcoming January transfer window. Sources in Italy state that Man United have informed Roma they are willing to let Zirkzee leave on a loan deal with an option to buy, and that negotiations are underway. United have set the purchase clause at a minimum of €35 million (£30.9m). The deal is dependent on further negotiations regarding salary coverage and the precise structure of the option-to-buy clause. All parties, including United, Roma, and Zirkzee, appear to be in agreement in principle.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, AS Roma is the leading club in the pursuit of Joshua Zirkzee. Discussions are focused on a 6-month loan that includes a mandatory purchase option for the subsequent summer. The purchase option price has been set at 35 million euros by Manchester United. For the transfer to proceed, Joshua Zirkzee is required to agree to a salary reduction. Roma might pursue Mathys Tel if an agreement is not reached.
AS Roma is planning a loan for Joshua Zirkzee that includes an option to purchase. The value of this purchase agreement is at least 35 million euros, according to 'Gazzetta dello Sport'.
According to Gazzetta dello Sport, Manchester United has become open to a loan solution with an option to buy, which would please Roma. Gasperini has a strong liking for Joshua Zirkzee and would have wanted him when he was Atalanta's coach.
Several reports suggest that Joshua Zirkzee could return to Italy to join AS Roma. The club is currently seeking a replacement in the winter for Artem Dovbyk. Dovbyk will be unavailable for an extended period due to a thigh injury. Zirkzee has made only four substitute appearances in the Premier League for Manchester United this season.
Roma are monitoring the situation of Joshua Zirkzee at Manchester United. Corriere della Sera reports that Roma could be in competition with Milan for the player. Both clubs, through sporting directors Massara and Tare, have already explored the feasibility of a deal, and it appears both intend to propose a loan with an option to buy.
According to Relevo, AS Roma is still interested in a winter transfer for Joshua Zirkzee, but the striker's salary could be a significant obstacle to the move. The transfer is considered difficult because Roma appears unwilling to cover Zirkzee's entire salary, which would require United to continue paying a portion of it. United would prefer an agreement with a club prepared to pay the full salary.
Joshua Zirkzee is seriously considering a departure during the next transfer window, and clubs like AS Roma are closely monitoring the situation. He was signed for nearly 42.5 million euros in the summer of 2024 and is under contract with the Red Devils until 2029, earning 6,556,231 euros per year in England. The player is valued at 30 million euros.
Ruben Amorim views Joshua Zirkzee as an important part of the squad as the 24-year-old can play several positions. Fabrizio Romano reports that Amorim never wanted to let Joshua Zirkzee leave because he believes Zirkzee can cover several positions and can be very important. The player strongly desires regular playing time and is seeking a departure in the upcoming transfer window, and the Manchester United board is receptive to selling him. The situation may be influenced by the severity of Benjamin Sesko’s injury and whether United acquires a new attacker in the winter.
La Gazzetta dello Sport reported on Tuesday that AS Roma has targeted Joshua Zirkzee. According to the Italian newspaper, the plan has been to focus on the forward since Sunday. The report also states that the 24-year-old Dutchman's preference is for Roma.
According to Gazzetta dello Sport, Joshua Zirkzee is Roma's top target. Zirkzee intends to leave Manchester United, where he has been relegated to the bench due to the club's significant purchases and the preferences of coach Ruben Amorim. While Zirkzee prefers a move to Italy, his agent, Kia Joorabchian, is advocating for him to remain in the Premier League, mainly for economic reasons.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Roma is also interested in Joshua Zirkzee's situation. There is no mention that the player has requested a loan or transfer, and he remains focused on Manchester United.
Fabrizio Romano stated on his YouTube channel earlier this week that West Ham are interested in Joshua Zirkzee and that Roma have also made contact in recent weeks.
AS Roma have reportedly initiated discussions concerning a potential transfer for Manchester United forward Joshua Zirkzee. According to Sky Sport Italia, the player has directed his representatives to seek a loan departure in January after falling out of favour under Rúben Amorim. It is claimed by sources in Italy that AS Roma has already made contact with Zirkzee's representatives. The club is confident in his potential for success in Serie A, citing his previous performance for Bologna, and Zirkzee is reportedly open to a return to Italy. Man United is not actively seeking his sale but is agreeable to a loan transfer that includes an option to buy, contingent on the deal's structure. A significant motivation for Zirkzee's desire to leave the Red Devils in January is to secure playing time to contend for a spot in the Netherlands' World Cup squad for the upcoming year.
TalkSport reported that AS Roma and West Ham United are also interested in Zirkzee.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Roma are making efforts to sign Zirkzee.
AS Roma is seeking an additional attacker in January and is considering Joshua Zirkzee as an option. A permanent transfer is considered unlikely to be financially possible for the Italian club, which makes a loan a possibility. The loan could include an option to purchase. Zirkzee has previously played in Serie A for Bologna.
AS Roma considers Joshua Zirkzee to be the primary candidate to reinforce their striker position in January. According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the Italian club hopes to take action immediately if an attacker departs from the current squad. Roma could partially assume the salary of almost four million euros that Zirkzee is paid in Manchester, on the condition that there is space in the squad.
According to The Times, Zirkzee would consider leaving United when the January transfer window opens. The same report mentions that Roma are monitoring the situation and may potentially make a January loan bid, preferring a loan due to Financial Fair Play regulations.
According to Gazzetta dello Sport, Zirkzee has already made a decision and wants to leave as soon as possible, even accepting a loan move in January. The report states that Roma are giving serious consideration to launching a loan proposal and that the club will face no issues getting the green light from the player's end.
According to Gazzeta dello Sport, AS Roma are interested in Joshua Zirkzee because he could be a 'tempting' market opportunity. The publication reports that Roma are in a financial hole and need to raise €90 million by 30 June of next year to avoid breaching UEFA's Squad Cost Ratio rule. This makes Zirkzee attractive, as he could be available on loan, which would mean the club would only have to pay six months of his salary. The player reportedly wants to leave Manchester United 'as soon as possible', and Roma are expected to be at the front of the queue for him in January. His name came up during a discussion with owner Dan Friedkin on Thursday, but the Giallorossi are aware that they will face competition for his signature.
CalcioMercato reports on Roma's interest in acquiring Joshua Zirkzee from Manchester United.

La Gazzetta dello Sport reported on Friday that AS Roma is interested in Joshua Zirkzee. Roma is looking for an additional striker who can also play as a left winger and believes that Zirkzee perfectly fits this profile. The striker himself is keen on the transfer and hopes that in Italy he can regain his place in Ronald Koeman's squad.
After moving to Manchester United from Bologna for €42 million in the summer, Joshua Zirkzee is reportedly considering a January exit due to a lack of playing time under manager Amorim. The 24-year-old striker, who has made just three appearances in the league and League Cup, hopes to find a new club to regain his place in the Netherlands national team. In this context, Gazzetta dello Sport reports that Zirkzee could be a loan opportunity for Roma, who are currently looking for a striker. Zirkzee's contract with Manchester United runs until June 2029, and his market value is estimated by Transfermarkt to be €30 million. In addition to Roma, other clubs recently linked with the forward include Juventus and Milan.
