AS Roma has entered into official negotiations with Manchester United to sign Dutch striker Joshua Zirkzee during the current transfer window, as part of the club's efforts to strengthen its attacking line.

According to the latest information, Italian coach Gian Piero Gasperini is the main supporter of completing the deal, having expressed a clear desire to sign Zirkzee since early January, considering him a suitable option for his playing style and the tactical plans he intends to implement.

Negotiations are expected to enter more serious stages in the coming days, amid a mutual desire from Rome to complete the deal, and ongoing monitoring by Manchester United of the player's future and the possibility of letting him go under suitable conditions.

Roma's management aims to finalize the deal early to give the coaching staff enough time to integrate Zirkzee into the system and support the team's ambitions both domestically and in Europe in the upcoming period.
