Bayer Leverkusen are being linked with a move for Manchester United centre-forward Joshua Zirkzee, with the Dutch-Nigerian forward’s Old Trafford future reportedly uncertain.
The 24-year-old, listed with a market value of €22.00m, is rumoured to be on the Bundesliga club’s radar according to transfer data logged on 7 April 2026, with the probability of any move currently marked as unclear (“?”). Zirkzee’s contract details at United, including expiry date, are not specified, raising the possibility that he could become a free agent in the near future if no new deal is agreed.
Zirkzee, who wears the number 11 shirt for United, is a 1.93m right-footed centre-forward, capable of leading the line in a traditional No 9 role. Born in Schiedam on 22 May 2001, he is eligible for both the Netherlands and Nigeria, and is recorded as holding dual nationality. The latest data lists “Manchester United” in the national team field, underlining his current status at club level rather than international.
The forward has been operating in the Premier League since joining United, but official records in the current dataset do not confirm his original date of arrival at Old Trafford or previous clubs. There is also no publicly available update on his most recent market value change, suggesting that the €22.00m figure remains the benchmark for any negotiations.
No specific recent match data – such as opponent, scoreline or individual performance – is provided in the current report, meaning his latest on-pitch impact is not detailed in these figures.
With Leverkusen established as a leading Bundesliga side and United continuing to reshape their attacking options, any move – whether via transfer fee close to his €22.00m valuation or as a potential free agent further down the line – could prove a pivotal step in Zirkzee’s career trajectory and shape his reputation across two of Europe’s major leagues.
