Edinson Cavani signing for Roma could pave the way for Edin Dzeko to leave and join Inter according to a report in today’s print edition of Italian daily newspaper Corriere dello Sport.

Cavani is a free agent following the expiration of his contract with Paris Saint-Germain and Roma have shown a keen interest in adding him to their ranks although it will not be easy for them to sign the Uruguayan national team player.

The first reason for this is that Cavani’s wage demands are presently out of reach for the Giallorossi club. The second reason is that it would lead to Dzeko departing as Roma could not afford to have both players on their books.

Cavani would replace Dzeko as the club’s highest earner and it is certainly a very complex situation because Cavani has no shortage of interest from elsewhere with him having been linked to many clubs in the Middle East among other sides.
