Italian club AS Roma places Joshua Zirkzee at the top of their priorities for the upcoming winter transfer window, as the management aims to strengthen the attacking line with a player capable of making an immediate impact.

Zirkzee's selection comes after a period of searching for a striker who combines physical strength and tactical flexibility that suits the current team's style.

Sources close to the player revealed that Zirkzee has officially informed Manchester United's management of his desire to leave in January, after finding himself out of the coach's plans recently. The player is now waiting for the green light from the English club to start direct negotiations with Roma.

According to preliminary estimates, the cost of the deal will be around 30 million euros, including the loan fee initially, along with a mandatory or optional purchase clause at the end of the season.

This financial model is considered suitable for Roma, which is trying to balance its sporting needs with the financial fair play regulations.

Roma officials believe that signing Zirkzee will provide the team with new attacking options, especially since the coach needs a versatile forward capable of linking the lines and finishing attacks effectively.

Negotiations are expected to accelerate in the coming days if Manchester United officially agrees to the player's departure.
