Fiorentina in talks with Man United over Zirkzee loan

Fiorentina are in talks with Manchester United over an initial loan move for striker Joshua Zirkzee, the BBC reported on Thursday. The deal would see the Dutch forward move to Serie A on a temporary basis, with the Italian club seeking attacking reinforcement before the transfer window closes.

Zirkzee joined Manchester United from Bologna in the summer of 2025 for a reported fee in excess of £36m, but has struggled to establish himself as a regular starter at Old Trafford. The 25-year-old's situation has attracted interest from several European clubs, with Fiorentina now emerging as the most concrete suitor.
