Reliable journalist Fabrizio Romano revealed that AS Roma has made significant progress in its talks with Dutch striker Joshua Zirkzee to reach an agreement on personal terms, as the club considers him their primary target in the January winter transfer window.

Romano explained that Roma's management is keen to finalize the deal as soon as possible, given the club's desire to strengthen the attacking line with a player who possesses outstanding technical and physical abilities. Zirkzee is seen as an ideal option to bolster the team in the second half of the season.

He pointed out that the completion of the deal is still contingent on Manchester United's decision, especially given the English team's struggles with numerous absences due to injuries, as well as the participation of several of its players in the Africa Cup of Nations.

The coming days remain crucial for the future of the deal, as Rome awaits Manchester United's final position, while pressure mounts to finalize the matter before the winter transfer window closes.
