Roma Learn Perimeters of Zirkzee and Raspadori Deals | OneFootball

Roma are eager to put their hands on Joshua Zirkzee and Giacomo Raspadori, but, while they could indeed be on the move in January, Manchester United and Atletico Madrid want to be remunerated appropriately, La Repubblica informs.

The Dutchman has put the Giallorossi at the top of his preferred destinations. The Red Devils wish to wait, as a pair of their attackers are playing in AFCON 2025. The formula should be a loan with a conditional obligation to buy, tied to the UEFA Champions League qualification or some personal objectives. However, the two sides need to find some common ground on the numbers. The opening offer was about €35M, while the Red Devils asked for €50M.

Roma could tender €40M late in the window, when it’ll be easier for the counterparty to lose Zirkzee, while luring Raspadori would cost about half as much. Atletico Madrid don’t want to lose money after investing €22M last summer.

The capital club is ready to overhaul its attack. They’ll listen to the offers for Artem Dovbyk and will likely send Evan Ferguson back to Brighton once they secure a replacement. Leon Bailey’s future hangs in the balance and depends on who they’ll manage to sign.

Instead, Paulo Dybala is expected to stay during the winter despite fresh rumors about Boca Juniors. The Giallorossi could accelerate as Lorenzo Pellegrini will miss most of January due to a thigh strain, according to Corriere dello Sport.

Our Take on Roma, Zirkzee, and Raspadori

The winter window is never as easy and streamlined as it sounds before it starts. Still, Gian Piero Gasperini deserves to get at least one of his wishes granted, as they have overperformed so far.
