Paulo Fonseca wants Roma to sign a centre back, hints at Dzeko stay
Edin Dzeko has been heavily linked with a move to Inter Milan. Inter are set to miss out on Romelu Lukaku after Juventus entered the race to sign the Manchester United forward. Thus, Inter are expected to push for the Bosnian forward. Dzeko has been impressive since he joined Roma. He became Serie A top scorer in the 2016/17, scoring 29 goals.
The 33-year-old managed to bag just 9 goals last season. However, many still regard him as a valuable striker. AS Roma new boss Paulo Fonseca revealed that the former Manchester City striker has given no sign of wanting to leave his current club despite Inter's interest. The former Shakhtar boss stated that he is happy with the team's performance, and he wanted Roma to sign a new defender.
“Dzeko is here with us, and he is our player. I can say he has worked very well and I saw no signs suggesting he’s distant from us,” said the Coach in his press conference.
“At this moment, we are clearly missing a centre back. We have two forwards, Dzeko and Patrik Schick, so the priority on the transfer market must be signing a central defender," Fonseca said.
