According to Gazzetta dello Sport, forward Zirkzee, who currently has few opportunities at Manchester United, may return to Serie A during the winter window. Roma and Como are currently interested in him.

The report pointed out that Zirkzee spent his best season in Italy when he wore a Bologna jersey. Perhaps for this reason, the Dutch striker once again set his sights on Serie A at this difficult stage of his career.

At present, his playing opportunities at Manchester United are very limited, even less than last season, and the players are dissatisfied with this situation. Now some clubs in the Premier League and outside have included him as a recruitment target during the January winter window transfer period.

The current leading club is Roma, coached by Gasperini. They hope to strengthen the offensive line, but Como, a dark horse, is also a potential choice. While Como may not be as competitive as Roma in terms of competitive appeal (they don't participate in the European competition), they are financially stronger than Roma.

Zirkzee has only played 4 times so far this season, and has never been a starter. He has played a total of 82 minutes. His dissatisfaction is logical, as he is well aware that he is blocked by Sheshko, Cunha and even Mbemo. He also faces the risk of losing his place in the World Cup with the Netherlands, so he intends to leave during the winter transfer window.

Roma is very interested in him now, because they are currently not satisfied with Dov Bik (he was close to being sold in the summer window), and have not yet fully understood the new signing Leon Bailey who is missing due to injury.

Gasperini was Motta's mentor, and Zirkzee's coach when he played in Bologna was Motta. Gasperini wanted the Dutch forward when he was coaching at Atlanta, and now he has the opportunity to provide Zirkzee with a European and Serie A stage.

However, Roma only wanted to introduce him on loan because they faced financial fairness issues. Como is also Zirkzee's dream destination, a club with deep pockets and ambitious plans: the Hartono family has enough financial resources to bring Zirkzee on a permanent transfer, and they are seriously considering this option.
