The captain of the national football team of Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) and Roma striker, Edin Dzeko, has been actively linked with the transfer to London’s “Chelsea” for seven days, and the his fate, according to the Italian media, should be known in the next 24 hours.
“Tuttomercatoweb” reports that Dzeko will be left out of the Roma starting lineup for the match with Sampdoria on Wednesday, adding that Radja Nainggolan, Patrik Schick and Gregoire Defrel will be the strikers.
Eusebio Di Francesco, the Roma coach said on the Tuesday’s press conference that everyone counts on the best striker of Serie A from the last season, and that he will be part of the starting lineup for the match in the third round of Italian Cup, unless the situation with his transfer does not change until then.
Renowned Gianluca Di Marzio has revealed yesterday that Chelsea and Roma have agreed on the price of a 50 million (plus ten million in bonuses) for the transfer of Emerson Palmieri and Edin Dzeko, and adds that the only thing left is that the BH striker agrees with the London club about the conditions, which the Brazilian player has already done.
The biggest problem in negotiations between the two sides can be the fact that Chelsea has not signed up contracts in duration of several years with players older than 30 in the past, including legends like Lampard, Drogba and Terry, but some English media have said that Dzeko could get a two-year contract who will connect him to the club by 2020, which he would agree to.
It should be noted that Chelsea has tried to bring Dzeko to its team in the past, more precisely at the time when Jose Mourinho was Chelsea’s manager, and Edin player of the Manchester City, but there was no final agreement among them at the end.
Besides Dzeko, who is currently really close to getting Chelsea jersey, England’s current Champion showed interest for Ashley Barnes from Burnley, Marko Arnautovic from West Ham, and the English media went so far that they even connected Peter Crouch with the club from Stamford Bridge.
What was known earlier, the first potential candidate of Roman Abramovich was the West Ham’s striker, Andy Carrol, whom Conte did not want in his team, and because of the new injury, the Englishman was not an option for a potential reinforcement anymore.
