Manchester United’s position on Joshua Zirkzee has been laid bare by Roma sporting director Florent Ghisolfi, with the forward still stuck in transfer limbo as he pushes for a move.
Ghisolfi confirmed Roma have been in talks over Zirkzee but made it clear any deal hinges on United’s stance, with the Premier League club not prepared to proceed on terms that do not suit them. The Roma chief said the situation remains open, but suggested it is currently at a standstill while United decide how they want to handle the player’s future.
Zirkzee, who has been linked with a switch to the Stadio Olimpico, is understood to be keen on leaving Old Trafford. However, United’s approach has left the striker in a holding pattern, with Roma unable to move things forward without a breakthrough with the English side.
The update from Ghisolfi effectively reveals United are not ready to green-light Zirkzee’s exit in the way Roma would like, leaving the deal hanging and the player’s next step unresolved.
With the market moving quickly, Roma are monitoring the situation closely, but for now Zirkzee’s future remains uncertain as both clubs await a shift that can unlock negotiations.
