Roma accelerate for Zirkzee: player has already said ‘yes’ | OneFootball

The defeat at the Allianz Stadium against Juventus left Roma with a bitter realization.

Gian Piero Gasperini’s team is solid, but closing the gap on the big teams requires the offensive clout that has been lacking in crucial moments so far.

The coach, post-match, was categorical: “I hope the January transfer window can help us improve.”

A plea that Sporting Director Frederic Massara immediately heeded, accelerating his efforts to provide the coach with the reinforcements he requested.

The name at the top of the list is Joshua Zirkzee.

According to the latest updates provided by Matteo Moretto, the parties are increasingly close.

The Dutch striker, fresh from another unimpressive performance with Manchester United in the defeat against Aston Villa, has now realized he’s on the fringes of the Red Devils’ project.

Precisely for this reason, Zirkzee has already expressed his appreciation for the Roman destination, enthusiastic about the idea of ​​being developed by Gasperini’s tactical system.

Roma is aiming to complete the deal in early January on a loan with an option to buy, which would become a mandatory deal should they qualify for the Champions League.

All that’s missing is the final “OK” from Manchester United.
