Since Chelsea have decided to go after every single target man in Europe capable of heading the ball into the back of the net, it was only a matter of time before Edin Dzeko was brought into the mix.
That took place late last night, with Sky Italy, relayed by Sky Sports, claiming the Blues were interested in spending around €50m on both the Bosnian and his teammate, left-back Emerson Palmieri.
Well, that’s been picked up by Gazzetta dello Sport on Friday, who state AS Roma aren’t exactly keen on letting their goalscorer go.
Furthermore, the reason why Chelsea would want him would be to help Alvaro Morata for the second half of the season, yet they point out Dzeko would be cup tied for the Champions League.
On top of all this, the former Manchester City striker’s agent, Irfan Redzepagic told Roma Giallorossa that his client wasn’t interested in leaving the Serie A side, and that he had no information about an approach for the Bosnia international.
All he revealed was that Antonio Conte likes Dzeko as a player.
This sounds very much like a no goer, but crazier things have happened in the past, and even in this transfer window.
Like Chelsea apparently being keen on Peter Crouch.
