SOURCES CONFIRM: MAN UTD WANT ROMA DEFENDER ZEKI CELIK
Manchester United, Liverpool, and Arsenal are all tracking AS Roma's right-back Zeki Celik, whose contract expires this summer, sparking a transfer battle.
Sources say Manchester United is interested in signing AS Roma right-back Zeki Celik. But they will have competition from Liverpool and Arsenal.
Celik's contract with Roma ends this season, which has caught the eye of Man Utd, Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea, and Man City. Since 2022, the 28-year-old Turkish player has played 121 games for Roma, scoring two goals and seven assists.
Word is that several big English clubs want Celik, who has become a main player for Roma under manager Gian Piero Gasperini. He has shown he can play in different spots, like as a right-back in a back three and as a defensive midfielder.
Man City, Man United, Arsenal, Liverpool, and Chelsea have all asked about Celik, which shows how much interest there is in him.
Roma is in first place in Serie A right now. They see Celik as important to the team and want him to stay longer.
Roma is trying to get Celik to sign a new agreement soon. But the former Lille star is taking his time and will think about any offers carefully in the next few weeks.
From January, Celik can sign a pre-contract with another club for a summer move. That’s why English teams are trying to find out if he is available and what he might want in a potential agreement.
So far, they are just getting basic info and figuring out if they can negotiate.
Celik is a solid defender with experience and can help out on offence, which makes him a popular full-back in Europe.
The next few weeks will be key in deciding if Celik stays at Roma or moves to the Premier League, where several top clubs are ready to make a move. This is something to watch closely.
Why does Man Utd want Zeki Celik?
Man Utd wants to sign a midfielder most of all in January. But the wing-back role is becoming more and more important to their game plan.
Sources say Man Utd would prefer a right wing-back who likes to attack.
Celik is not the kind of attacking full-back that gets fans excited. But he is dependable, strong on defence, and plays well consistently.
The Turkish player can also get forward, with one goal and one assist in 11 Serie A games this season.
Celik said in October 2025 that he is comfortable as a wing-back and can attack if needed.
Tribuna quoted Celik: It doesn't matter if I play as a wing-back or a full-back; the important thing is to play well.
About renewing my agreement, I'm just focused on playing. I'm happy at Roma, and we'll see what happens.
I feel good as a wing-back; I can defend and attack. I'm happy and playing well.
In Turkey, I played as a fullback and centre back, so I know all the defensive positions. It wasn't new to me, and I'm comfortable in any role.
I’ve worked with many great coaches, but with Gasperini, training is very tough. The coach has a winning mentality; we’re learning a lot from him, and we’re improving.”
Meanwhile, Man Utd really wants to sign a German star who is also wanted by Chelsea.
EX-CAPTAIN NEVILLE CLAIMS SUBSTITUTIONS MADE MANCHESTER UNITED "WORSE" AGAINST WOLVES
Gary Neville slams Ruben Amorim’s "weird" substitutions and tactical shifts after Manchester United's 1-1 draw with bottom-side Wolves.
Gary Neville said that the performance of Manchester United in their match against winless Wolves was ‘the baddest of the bad.’
United would have moved fourth in the league with a win at Old Trafford last night, although Wolves, who had two points in 18 games before kickoff, ended their record of 11 straight losses with a 1-1 draw.
Amorim’s team had been knocked out of the Carabao Cup by a League Two team, Grimsby, in August, but Neville was convinced that United had hit rock bottom in a game that could have been even more one-sided were it not for two important saves by Senne Lammens.
“That was the baddest of the bad," the former United captain declared on the Gary Neville podcast.
“They weren’t just booed off at the final whistle. The fans waited in the stadium to continue to boo them. They’ve gone backwards.”
United had won at Newcastle 1-0 on Boxing Day, despite being plagued by an injury list that already lacked skipper Bruno Fernandes, Harry Maguire, and Matthijs de Ligt, as well as three players on African Cup of Nations duty.
But they remained flat right from the first whistle, and the header by Ladislav Krejci just before the half bottled Joshua Zirkzee's deflected shot.
Amorim’s formation choice of 3-4-3 was brought into focus once more as the Portuguese opted to go back to his preferred tactic of four at the back against Newcastle.
“This isn’t right. I’ve watched enough of United over the last five or six weeks to know what looks right and what isn’t right,” Neville had declared 20 minutes into his commentary on Sky Sports.
“Because, when I see that we go back (to three at the back) after five minutes tonight, I’m thinking, no, Ruben, why have you done that?
"The manager has to look at that and think, I got that wrong. I complicated it."
However, Amorim decided to substitute Zirkzee at halftime and brought on an 18-year-old Jack Fletcher, who made his third appearance at the senior level.
Regarding substitutions made by Amorim, Neville further added, “They made Manchester United worse. Every single substitution was ridiculous.”
‘If Zirkzee was injured, and it was a tactical substitution, that was a very poor one.’ But Zirkzee isn't Eric Cantona, not by a long shot, and he had to get out there for physicality, for presence, for experience.”
SEE LISANDRO MARTINEZ’S FURIOUS REACTION AFTER MAN UTD’S SHOCK WOLVES DRAW
Lisandro Martinez demands more after Man Utd’s 1-1 draw with bottom-placed Wolves. United ended 2025 sixth in the Premier League.
Stand-in captain Lisandro Martinez was mad that Manchester United dropped points against Wolves, who are at the bottom of the league.
United came into the last game of 2025 after a good win against Newcastle on Boxing Day and were expected to easily beat Wolves.
Joshua Zirkzee scored first for United, but they didn't take their chances. Ladislav Krejci's header tied the game for Wolves, 1-1.
It was only their third point in 19 games, and it stopped their 11-game losing streak. United fans booed at the end of the game.
When Martinez was asked if it felt like a disappointing point, he said, 100 percent.
We are very disappointed. We can't keep drawing or losing points at home. We have to win.
We want to be at the top, competing with the best.
We can't drop points in games like this. We just have to accept it and be hungry for the next game.
Martinez was captain again because Bruno Fernandes is still recovering from an injury.
When United coach Ruben Amorim was asked about injured players for the game against Leeds on Sunday, he didn't give much away. Leeds are really wanting to beat United for the first time since 2010.
Martinez said to MUTV, You can either make excuses, or you can be strong and say, 'We're dropping points, so we need to go for the next one and show what we can do.'
We need to work together and do the easy things to get the three points.
United is in sixth place in the league at the end of 2025, only two points behind Liverpool for the last Champions League spot. Liverpool has a game in hand.
They could be in a better position if they had been better in both boxes. Leeds has been playing well lately, with Dominic Calvert-Lewin doing great up front.
Martinez added, It's about us. I don't like to think about other teams.
I'm thinking about what we can do to get better as a team every day, and we have to learn from this game.
