Edin Dzeko set to make Italy transfer?

Manchester City forward Edin Dzeko is ready to make a move to Serie A, according to reports from numerous outlets in Italy. The Bosnian international has helped City to their second Premier League title.

Roma and AC Milan are both amongst the teams chasing his coveted signature and now the forward admits that a move to Italy is an option that he would favour.

“As a kid, my reference point was Serie A,” Dzeko told Corriere della Sera, per Sky Sports. “I supported Milan, the best players were there, it was a spectacle. The Premier League was not so popular, it had a lot less charm.

“Now, everything is different. The perception we have of Italy is negative. There have been too many scandals, the stadiums are old, not up to it. It is such a shame. But my friend Miralem [Pjanic] always speaks well of Roma.

“Would I go to Italy? City are a great team. We have just won the Premier League, we want to do better in the next Champions League.

“But I have always thought it would be nice to experience Italy. When, I do not know.”
