Agent: ‘Dzeko wants to stay at Roma’

By Football Italia staff

Edin Dzeko’s agent shoots down Chelsea rumours - “the truth is that Dzeko wants to stay at Roma”.

The Blues are looking to sign a target man in the January transfer window, and have been linked with everyone from Fernando Llorente to Peter Crouch.

Last night it was reported that the English side would look to do a double deal for Emerson Palmieri and Dzeko, but the Bosnian won’t be included in any transfer.

“No, I don’t know anything about this,” Irfan Redzepagic, the Giallorossi striker’s agent, insisted in an interview with romagiallorossa.

“I have no information to that effect. Dzeko is already a Roma player, you know that.

“Look, every time we talk about Dzeko the names of clubs like Chelsea, Chinese clubs, Mexican clubs come up. These are just rumours.

“The truth is that Dzeko wants to stay at Roma.

“Have I spoken to Conte or Chelsea? My role means I can’t reveal certain transfer market dynamics. I understand the question, but I have a very specific role.

“All I can say is that Conte likes Dzeko. But then who doesn’t like Edin?”
