Roma market, there's the plan to get (soon) to Joshua Zirkzee

Gian Piero Gasperini cannot wait any longer. He wants, as soon as possible, his new striker, so he can have alternative solutions in attack. Given for certain the’farewell to Evan Ferguson (the Irish striker could return to Brighton, ending his loan prematurely), here is that the Giallorossi club is called to replace him with a valuable forward who can, finally, guarantee Roma goals and weight in attack. Until now, the Giallorossi team has had to deal with a limping offensive department (also due to a few too many injuries). Now it’s time to sort it out.

It is no mystery that the number one target is Joshua Zirkzee. The former Bologna striker is struggling enormously in the ranks of Manchester United. As a matter of fact, he is not central to the project and, as a result, would be happy to get back into the game elsewhere. The’idea of playing at a club where he can return to prominence appeals to him greatly. At Bologna, the team revolved around him; in Manchester he is not even among the first options for the attack. With a World Cup on the horizon, it is clear that being able to play with continuity, in an important square like the Giallorossi, would be crucial for Joshua Zirkzee himself.

Roma has reportedly studied a plan to bring Joshua Zirkzee to the capital city as soon as possible. The idea is to get to the classic white smoke quickly, so that Gian Piero Gasperini can “work” with his new striker right away. Waiting until the end of the winter market would be a big mistake and, in fact, could limit Joshua Zirkzee’s own impact in a Giallorossi shirt. In short, if the operation is to be done, it must be concluded quickly. Otherwise, better to focus on other profiles that may be available right away.

The Giallorossi club’s plan would be to have the Dutch striker on loan with the right of redemption, only under certain conditions though. At the loan level, the investment is rumored to be around five million euros. The redemption would be triggered, however, only in case Roma qualifies for the next edition of the Champions League. Clearly, Joshua Zirkzee is not only of interest to Roma. There are several clubs on his trail and there is also to keep in mind that Manchester United has no intention of letting him go cheap. It will surely try to bring home as much money as possible, given the significant investment made on the player.
