Inter Milan GM Beppe Marotta has admitted admiration for Roma centre-forward Edin Dzeko.

And Marotta has also delivered an update regarding on-loan Manchester United striker Alexis Sanchez.

On Dzeko, he began: “He's one of most interesting players in the league, but we haven't approached Roma officials and probably won't.

“It's a bit inappropriate to talk about the transfer market now. There are competitions that still have to end and the upcoming window will be an unusual one.

“As for Sanchez, we'll make targeted assessments on him and see what can be done. I think mixing experienced players with younger ones is the right thing to do.

“We're looking for both kinds of players. Investing in talent is a job for the future. Experienced players, on the other hand, can make an impact immediately.

“We have to raise the bar and get closer to victory."
