Aston Villa attacker Leon Bailey is on loan to Italian club Roma.
However, Jamaican players have not been able to perform at a high level. He also had injury problems. Bailey has played just 188 minutes in all competitions and Roma could part ways with him in January.
Roma want to replace Leon Bailey
According to Corriere dello Sport, they are interested in signing Joshua Zirkzee from Manchester United and hope to secure the funds to sign him.
The Aston Villa attacker has already been offered an offer to Benfica, and it will be interesting to see if Benfica are willing to sign the 28-year-old. He has proven his quality in Germany and England so far.
There is no doubt that he is a quality player and could rediscover his form with the right team.
Aston Villa do not consider him a key part of their plans and are considering selling the player permanently. Even if he returns to the club, he is unlikely to get a chance. Ideally, all parties aim for a permanent transfer in January.
Where will Bayley end up?
At 28 years old, he is still at the peak of his powers and could become a very useful player in the right team. Returning to Aston Villa is not an option for him and it is clear that he is not wanted at Roma at the moment.
It will be interesting to see where he ends up. He will aim to join a competitive club where he can compete at a high level.
Aston Villa, on the other hand, also need to improve their attacking line, and selling the Jamaican player on a permanent basis in January would be ideal for them. They will be able to recoup some funds from his departure.
