Tuttosport believe that Edin Dzeko could join Inter regardless of whether they manage to qualify for the Champions League or not.

Inter’s management highly appreciate the Bosnian forward and have a desire to a get a deal for him closed quickly, due to high possibility of Antonio Conte finding himself without a proper first-team striker for the early part of pre-season.

Lautaro Martinez will be away with the Argentine national team at the Copa America whilst other striker Mauro Icardi is on the transfer market and he is largely expected to be sold.

The fact Dzeko’s contract with Roma is due to expire at the end of the season will help Inter in their bid to sign him and the deal will not cost a lot either.

Inter chief executive Giuseppe ‘Beppe’ Marotta is not expecting to pay anymore than between €10-12 million for the 33-year-old, who earns approximately €6 million a season with the Giallorossi.
