The 29-year-old exclusively told Goal In June that he is not looking
to leave, while the Serie A outfit's sporting director, Walter
Sabatini, admits a deal will be difficult
Roma sporting director Walter Sabatini has confirmed that the club
are trying to sign Manchester City striker Edin Dzeko.
The 29-year-old is among the players who City are looking to
offload this summer, although the striker exclusively told Goal in
June that he will not force a move away from the the Etihad .
While Sabatini has revealed Roma's interest, he concedes that the
Serie A side are still far away from agreeing a deal with English
outfit.
"Dzeko is not very close, but Roma are trying to get him,”
Sabatini told reporters at a 'Football Fest' event in Perugia on
Friday evening. "He's the right man for us, but tough to get, as
he's expensive."
Regarding possible outgoings, Sabatini has ruled out Gervinho leaving
the club - despite reports of a €14 million bid from Al Jazira
being accepted.
He added: "No [Gervinho does not want to leave]. He changed his
mind and wants to stay with us now."
