Courted by Italian clubs, notably AS Roma, Zirkzee would rather bet on time and hard work to turn things around. Back in training, the player reportedly retains the full confidence of the coaching staff, as hinted by Michael Carrick, who is keen to keep him involved with the squad.

Signed in the summer of 2024 from Bologna, Zirkzee is experiencing a mixed debut season in the Premier League. With limited playing time so far, he hopes to capitalize on the second half of the campaign to firmly establish himself and influence the club's future decisions.
