Roma encounter obstacle in Zirkzee’s agent’s fees | OneFootball

Roma are prioritizing the signing of Joshua Zirkzee of Manchester United.

However, the deal appears difficult, writes Corriere dello Sport.

The Dutch striker is pushing to join Gian Piero Gasperini as early as January, and Massara is pressuring United to close the deal, but there’s one issue holding everything back: the high commissions demanded by agents.

This is far from a minor issue, complicating the timing and terms of the deal.

Despite this, Friedkin has no intention of giving up and remains determined to hand Gasperini the center forward he’s been so eagerly seeking since last summer. Zirkzee could be the signing that can transform the Giallorossi’s struggling attack.

The deal remains a loan with an option to buy, a solution Roma has been working on for weeks.

The Giallorossi club has moved well in advance and is aiming to secure the former Bologna player, convinced that Zirkzee’s profile could represent a significant investment for the present and the coming months.
