The Bianconeri are reportedly unsure about the feasibility of striking a deal for Luis Suarez and are now inching closer to signing Roma striker Edin Dzeko. There are doubts regarding Luis Suarez passport situation and whether he will pass the Italian tests and thus Juventus are looking to explore a less complicated option.

Suarez has to acquire a European Union passport and is reportedly all set to undertake the Italian test on Thursday and his move will hinge on whether he passes it. Fabrizio Romano reported yesterday that Edin Dzeko has been Juventus first-choice for a striker anyway.

Roma, meanwhile, have now found a breakthrough in their pursuit of Arkadiusz Milik. According to Gianluca Di Marzio,

Roma offered Milik a 5 year contract worth 5 million euros per season, but the player has not given his consent yet. Milik is not yet open to the move, but more will be known in the coming hours. His consent will allow this potential transfer to move forward. Only remaining is the negotiate a deal on the percentage of a future sale, which was requested by Napoli. If the Milik-Roma potential transfer is successful, this will unlock a potential move for Dzeko, as he is well-liked by Juventus.

Dzeko won't move unless Napoli and AS Roma reach an agreement over a deal for Milik. Juventus are keeping tabs on the situation.
