"The fact that AC Milan are searching for a new striker seems to be no mystery, and now a new but familiar name has cropped up: Joshua Zirkzee. La Gazzetta dello Sport (seen below) write this morning that Zirkzee is not having the best of times in Manchester following his move to United. He is the No.1 choice for Gian Piero Gasperini's Roma, who are desperately searching for a striker for January, with Evan Ferguson set to go back to Brighton."
"Obviously, the arrival of a player of Zirkzee's stature would presuppose the departure of one of the squad's strikers. The suspect is Gimenez, currently still struggling with the left ankle injury that has kept him sidelined since late October. The Mexican continued his training session yesterday at Milanello, and the injury is becoming increasingly mysterious. The feeling is that his path to conquering Milan is now incredibly complicated, with German clubs in particular interested."
"Not that things are going much better for Zirkzee at United. The Dutchman - due to Sesko's injury - has recently been given some playing time, but the Red Devils wouldn't be so unhappy with a January sale because he hasn't lived up to his €42.5m price tag. The English club's demands are stringent, at least for now: a loan is fine, but only with an obligation to buy (if the Rossoneri qualify for the Champions League)"
AC Milan are seeking a striker and identified Joshua Zirkzee as a target. Zirkzee has struggled for form at Manchester United and is an option for Roma. Rafael Leao and Christian Pulisic remain Milan's first-choice attackers but have rarely started due to injuries, while Santiago Gimenez and Christopher Nkunku have underperformed. Milan management has made initial contact with agent Kia Joorabchian. Any Zirkzee arrival would likely require a striker departure, with Gimenez affected by a persistent ankle problem and interest from German clubs. Manchester United would accept a loan only with an obligation to buy near €35m; Milan prefer a simple option to buy.
