"Now, per the latest reports from Corriere della Sera (via MilanNews), the Dutchman is back on their radar. Milan and Massimiliano Allegri have been struggling to get the best out of Santiago Gimenez, and Christopher Nkunku for that matter, which has put a lot of pressure on Rafael Leao and Christian Pulisic. The fact that a striker signing is being evaluated, as such, is no surprise at all."
"As per the newspaper, Milan are evaluating the various options on the market and one of them is Zirkzee, who has also ended up in the sights of Roma. The former Bologna man was convinced that he would be able to take the big leap at Man Utd, but so far, it hasn't happened for him. So far this season, Zirkzee has played just 90 minutes, so a move in January definitely appears to be on the cards."
"Mila's sporting director, Igli Tare, has initiated contacts with the player's entourage to understand the feasibility. The initial indications suggest that the Old Trafford side could let Zirkzee leave on loan, even without an obligation to buy. For Milan and Roma, this would be a great formula, even if Zirkzee isn't the exact striker that Allegri and Gian Piero Gasperini are looking for."
Joshua Zirkzee has re-emerged as a potential January target for AC Milan amid interest from Roma. He nearly joined Milan before moving to Manchester United in summer 2024. Milan and manager Massimiliano Allegri have struggled to get the best from Santiago Gimenez and Christopher Nkunku, increasing pressure on Rafael Leao and Christian Pulisic. Zirkzee has played only 90 minutes this season and wants regular minutes to boost his World Cup chances. Sporting director Igli Tare has contacted the player's entourage, and Manchester United may permit a loan without an obligation to buy, a solution appealing to both Milan and Roma despite stylistic concerns.
