Dzeko Set To Join Roma

Edin Dzeko has agreed personal terms with Roma, despite the Serie A side being yet to settle on a transfer fee with Manchester City.

The Bosnia and Herzegovina striker, who has won two Premier League titles in four seasons with City, started just 11 Premier League games last season and Manuel Pellegrini admitted earlier last week that the player’s future could lie away from the Etihad Stadium.

City are reportedly keen to recoup around £25million for the striker they paid £27million to Wolfsburg for in January 2011.

This summer, City have committed as much as £49m to signing Raheem Sterling from Liverpool, while January arrival Wilfried Bony is ready to start his first full season at the club.

But with Stevan Jovetic is set to join Inter on loan, Dzeko’s departure would leave City with just Bony and Sergio Aguero as recognised centre forwards at the club.

Roma have already raided the Premier League once this week to sign Arsenal goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny on loan.
