Borussia Dortmund are being linked with a move for Manchester United centre-forward Joshua Zirkzee, with the Dutch-Nigerian’s Old Trafford future under scrutiny ahead of the summer window.
The 24-year-old, valued at €22.00m on Transfermarkt, is the subject of growing speculation over a potential switch from the Premier League to the Bundesliga, with the latest rumours emerging on 7 April 2026. The reported probability of the move remains unclear, listed only as “?”, and there has been no indication yet of an agreed fee between the clubs.
Zirkzee’s contract situation at United has not been made public, with no confirmed expiry date, prompting suggestions he could become a free agent in the future if no new deal is agreed. That uncertainty has fuelled talk of a possible departure, with Dortmund monitoring the right-footed striker as they assess attacking options.
Born in Schiedam on 22 May 2001, the 1.93m forward, who holds both Netherlands and Nigeria nationality, operates primarily as a centre-forward. He wears the number 11 shirt for United and is listed in the “Attack – Centre-Forward” role, reflecting his profile as a focal point in the front line.
Zirkzee has experience in top-level European football and is currently part of the Manchester United set-up, featuring in the Premier League. Recent data lists his national team affiliation as Manchester United, underlining that his primary visibility at present is at club level rather than on the senior international stage.
With his market value at €22.00m and his physical profile suited to both counter-attacking and possession-based sides, a move to Dortmund would represent a significant tactical addition for the Bundesliga club. If the transfer materialises, it could mark a pivotal step in Zirkzee’s career, offering him a fresh platform in Germany to enhance his reputation and fulfil his potential at the highest level.
