Man Utd have dismissed opening bid from Roma for striker. This has halted the Italian club’s push for the attacking player.
Roma Push Hard for Man Utd Forward
Roma have made Man Utd‘s Joshua Zirkzee one of their key targets for the upcoming window. The forward is open to the switch and sees a fresh stage to grow his game. Reportedly, Roma’s wanted to bring him in on loan and keep the option to make the deal permanent later.
The catch was that this option would only kick in if they secured a place in next season’s UCL. With the team sitting in the top four, they believed the structure made sense, both financially and long term.
The Italian side tried to take a smart, low-risk step toward landing a player they rate highly. But, the decision wasn’t theirs alone. United still hold the cards, and they aren’t ready to let Zirkzee go without a firm commitment on the table.
United Stand Firm on Their Terms
As per reports, Man Utd quickly pushed the first offer aside. The club want clarity and value, not a deal based on conditions they can’t control. A loan with a trigger tied to Roma’s league finish didn’t match their expectations. That is especially for a player they believe still has room to shine in England.
By rejecting the bid, United have made it clear that they expect a straight-forward bid. Roma will now have to rethink their approach. If they want Zirkzee, they’ll need a stronger and cleaner offer. The interest is alive, but the next few days will reveal how serious Roma truly are.
Author’s opinion:
Roma’s interest is genuine, but they need to convince United. A better offer will arrive soon, and this chase still has room to twist before the window opens.
