Roma speed up for Zirkzee, but Man United take time | OneFootball

Both Gian Piero Gasperini and Roma are becoming increasingly impatient in the negotiations for Joshua Zirkzee.

The Giallorossi intend to conclude the deal as quickly as possible, aiming to bring a striker to the manager as early as the beginning of January.

Roma urgently needs to strengthen their attacking lineup and doesn’t want to waste time.

However, the situation is complicated by Manchester United, who, under Ruben Amorim, prefer not to reduce their squad too much due to commitments related to the Africa Cup of Nations and potential transfers.

According to Fabrizio Romano, the English club appears willing to slow down the negotiations, which could delay the deal.

At the moment, the only way to expedite the deal would be for Zirkzee himself to explicitly ask to leave Manchester United, but so far there have been no signs of this.

The situation is therefore becoming more complicated, with Roma eager to conclude the deal quickly and the Red Devils prepared to hold out, at least until more favorable conditions arise.

It will therefore be crucial to understand how the next few weeks unfold, with the timing of the negotiations potentially crucial to the success of the deal. The Dutchman has so far made eight appearances and scored one goal in the Premier League.
