ROMA is considering a January transfer for out-of-favor Manchester United forward Joshua Zirkzee.
Joshua Zirkzee could leave Manchester United in January due to interest from Roma.
The Dutch international has faced a challenging season at Old Trafford.
Red Devils manager Ruben Amorim's nearly £200 million investment in revamping his attacking line included players like Bryan Mbeumo.
This has resulted in Zirkzee being sidelined—he has yet to start a match this season and has only made four substitute appearances.
Even the loan departure of a teammate in August did not create more opportunities for him, as the absence of European football and a recent exit at Grimsby have left squad players with limited playing time.
This situation has also cost him a spot in Ronald Koeman’s Netherlands squad, with the World Cup finals just eight months away.
Reports have surfaced this month indicating that the 24-year-old may seek a transfer to keep his World Cup dreams alive.
Roma is now closely monitoring his situation, with coach Gian Piero Gasperini eager to bolster his attacking options.
Funds are limited at the Stadio Olimpico, making a loan for a proven forward an attractive option.
Zirkzee’s reputation remains strong in Italy.
He had a successful stint with Bologna, where his performance led to a £36.5 million transfer to Manchester United in July of last year.
Several other clubs are also likely to show interest if the forward is allowed to leave—discussions are already underway.
