Roma and Como Lead Race as Joshua Zirkzee Seeks January Exit From Man United

National-team pressure after limited minutes has pushed the 24-year-old to seek a January move.

Overview

  • Reports in Italy and the UK say the forward wants to leave in the winter window after just four substitute outings totaling about 82 minutes this season.
  • Roma are preparing a loan proposal, viewing him as a link-up option for Gian Piero Gasperini’s attack, with budget considerations pointing to a loan-with-option structure.
  • Como are described as a serious contender for a permanent deal, with strong ownership backing and the promise of a central role despite lacking European competition.
  • Manchester United are understood to be open to negotiations, with market commentary suggesting either a loan with an option to buy or a sale near the £30m mark.
  • Ronald Koeman has cited the player’s lack of game time in recent squad decisions, intensifying the urgency for a move to protect his World Cup prospects.
