According to the Italian "Gazzetta dello Sport" report, Serie A upstart Como is seriously considering buying an abandoned player from Manchester United in January - center Zirkzee. After Manchester United introduced three new forwards in the summer window, Zirkzee has not been able to get many playing opportunities. He has not started a game in the first two months of the season. He plans to push for (pushed for) to leave the team in the winter window.

Zirkzee was allegedly unhappy with the way Ruben Amorim treated him. Last year, he was replaced in the first half of a game against Newcastle United amid boos. He knew his shame and then worked hard to prove that he was not a "paramecium". Unexpectedly, he was abandoned again. There are rumors in the British media that the relationship between Zirkzee and Amorim has broken down, and the two only have purely professional contacts.

Zirkzee is unhappy that Amorim has rarely used him this season, but the outside world believes that this arrangement is completely understandable, because the Dutch forward's scoring ability is very weak, only scoring 7 goals in 53 games, including 3 goals in the Premier League this year, and is completely unsuitable to play center. And when he plays the No. 10 position, he faces "encirclement and suppression" by Cunha, Mbemo, Mason Mount, Amad Diallo and Bruno Fernandez.

Zirkzee was recently left out of the Dutch national team, and head coach Ronald Koeman made it clear that Zirkzee was left out because he did not get enough playing opportunities. Koeman said: "I think they (Brobbey and Zirkzee) are not able to play at all and have injuries. If they end up playing more, they will still be an option for our team. But we are also considering other candidates."

Since Manchester United does not qualify for the European competition, Zirkzee's prospects of getting more playing time are slim, which leads to the possibility that he will not be included in the Netherlands World Cup squad. Therefore, the 24-year-old Netherlands international plans to leave during the winter transfer window. Roma of Serie A is also interested. The team's new head coach Gasperini is a fan of Zirkzee and hoped to introduce him when he coached Atlanta.

However, due to the restrictions of FFP Financial Fair Play rules, Roma can only assume the loan contract. This could work in Cuomo's favor as they have a wealthy owner with deep pockets. Therefore, Cesc Fabregas' team has the financial resources to bring in Zirkzee, who has signed Varane from Manchester United. Como is currently ranked 9th in Serie A, but only 3 points behind the European competition. Their goal is to enter the European competition.

Returning to Serie A is the safest choice for Zirkzee. He hopes to get his career back on track, and Italian football is very suitable for his style and can also bring stable playing opportunities. While playing for Bologna, Zirkzee played at the peak of his career. Hoylund was resurrected in Serie A and was also a reference template for Zirkzee.

Manchester United does not want to rent out Zirkzee, whose weekly salary is less than 100,000 pounds. From a financial point of view, the loan transaction does not have much effect, but will lose a player. However, the club's hierarchy may be willing to negotiate a permanent deal. The club signed Zirkzee from Bologna for £42.5 million and now hope to get at least €40 million.

Como may not be able to offer such a high price. The club's record signing is Jesus Rodriguez, with a transfer fee of approximately 23 million euros. It is said that they are willing to pay a transfer fee of about 30 million euros for Zirkzee. Manchester United may request to add floating clauses, secondary transfer sharing and other clauses to strive for higher income.

After cashing out Zirkzee, Manchester United can use the funds to introduce a new defensive midfielder in the next transfer window, such as Lucas Agoume from Sevilla in La Liga, Ruben Neves from Riyadh Crescent in the Saudi Arabian Professional League, etc.
