Inter are finally prepared to meet Roma’s €20 million asking price for Edin Dzeko, according to FcInter1908.

The Nerazzurri face a decisive week in their bids to sign Dzeko and Romelu Lukaku and want to make a decisive step towards the Bosnian forward.

Beppe Marotta and Piero Ausilio are willing to raise their offer so they can secure one of Antonio Conte’s key transfer targets.

Dzeko’s agent Silvano Martina visited the club’s offices in Milan today, confirming talks are entering a crucial phase.

Inter agreed personal terms with Dzeko a long time ago but Roma’s demands were adjudged to be excessive.

It seems the scenario has now changed, however, perhaps due to the lack of alternatives the Nerazzurri have lined up for Conte.

Dzeko scored 14 goals in all competitions for Roma last season as the Giallorossi finished sixth in Serie A and reached the Champions League last 16.

The former Manchester City striker created two assists yesterday as Paulo Fonseca’s side defeated Lille in a preseason friendly.
