Sporting tempted to pinch striker from Ruben Amorim | OneFootball

Sporting is keeping an eye on Joshua Zirkzee's situation. Ruben Amorim is open to allowing the forward's departure, as he hasn't had many minutes this season. Although Roma is the main party interested in signing him, the Lions are also watching closely.

The information is being reported by Ekrem Konur - a Turkish journalist specializing in transfer market news - who adds that as an alternative to the former Sporting coach's protégé, the Serie A club is considering signing Mathys Tel from Tottenham.

However, the same source reveals that Joshua Zirkzee remains Roma's 'plan A', although the recent starts given by Ruben Amorim to the player - in two consecutive matches - are beginning to concern the Italians as the winter window approaches.

Besides Sporting and Roma, there are more clubs interested in the Manchester United forward. According to Ekrem Konur, Milan, Napoli, Sevilla, West Ham, Everton, Leipzig, and Monaco are also monitoring the situation and its developments.

In the 2025/26 season, wearing the Manchester United jersey, Joshua Zirkzee - currently valued at 28 million euros - has already played seven matches. During the 300 minutes he was used by Ruben Amorim, the forward scored one goal but has not yet made any assists for his teammates.
