Roma are being linked with a move for Manchester United forward Joshua Zirkzee, with the Dutch-Nigerian striker rated as a 40% possibility to swap the Premier League for Serie A, according to the latest data.
The 24-year-old centre-forward, whose current market value is listed at €25.00m, is being monitored by the Italian club as they assess options to bolster their attack. Zirkzee is currently on the books at United, but with no contract expiry date specified in the available information, his long‑term future at Old Trafford is unclear, raising the prospect that he could become available or even approach free-agent status further down the line.
Roma’s interest comes less than two years after Zirkzee left Bologna for Manchester United, a move that followed a sharp rise in his valuation during an impressive spell in Serie A. His market value climbed as high as €50m while at Bologna in mid-2024 before gradually dropping to its current €25m following his switch to England, suggesting United might face a decision over whether to cash in or attempt to rebuild his standing.
Born in Schiedam on 22 May 2001, Zirkzee stands at 1.93m and operates primarily as a centre-forward, offering a physical presence up front. He has represented clubs in several major European leagues, including Bayern Munich and their second team in Germany, Parma and Bologna in Italy, and Anderlecht in Belgium, as well as progressing through Feyenoord and ADO Den Haag at youth level.
With dual roots in the Netherlands and Nigeria and a career already spanning the Bundesliga, Serie A, the Belgian Pro League and now the Premier League, a move to Roma would mark another significant step. Should the transfer materialise, it could offer Zirkzee the platform to re-establish his value and reshape the next phase of his career in familiar Italian surroundings.
