Dzeko’s current contract runs out at the end of June, but the club have been working to find an agreement with the former Roma striker on a new deal in talks over the past few weeks.

Both the wages and the duration of the deal have been negotiated between the parties, with the Nerazzurri not keen to hand Dzeko a contract of longer than one season given the player’s age.
