Serie A side Roma attempted to sign Joshua Zirkzee from Manchester United in January but they remain in the fray for his signature.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The ex-Bologna player has never played enough to make a mark at Old Trafford. This makes a return to Italy as the best way to reinvigorate his career.<\/p>\n
La Gazzetta dello Sport<\/strong> report that Gian Piero Gasperini had spoken to the attacker regarding a January transfer. He appeared keen and the Italian hasn\u2019t given up. During discussions involving him and the Friedkin ownership, the Manchester United player\u2019s name was discussed prominently.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Gasperini is aware that Zirkzee is unhappy with his playing time at the Red Devils and wants to try moving for him again.<\/p>\n He has also earmarked a role for the player. Zirkzee is seen as a left attacking midfielder in the 3-4-2-1, allowing Donyell Malen someone to combine with and bring more out of him in an all-Dutch duo. If Malen isn\u2019t available, Zirkzee can easily step in as the striker as well.<\/p>\n Manchester United are believed to want \u20ac25 million to sell the player permanently. Roma\u2019s approach remains to be seen but they are keen, again.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n In January, Roma failed to land a lot of Gasperini\u2019s targets and this has caused chaos across the season.<\/p>\n That is why meeting his demands will be key for the club. Zirkzee is someone who offers the dynamism that Gasperini wants in his forwards and his link-up ability is tailor made for his system too.<\/p>\n Manchester United\u2019s valuation could be a problem but if the player pushes, a deal can be done.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Kaustubh Pandey I GIFN<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\nRoma wise to return<\/h2>\n
