Man City striker Dzeko agrees personal terms with Roma

Edin Dzeko is reportedly headed for an exit from Manchester City after agreeing personal terms with Italian club AS Roma.


City have revealed that they will listen to offers for the Bosnian striker and reports in Italy suggest that a four-year deal with Roma has already been agreed.

Dzeko's future at the club has been in doubt since City brought in Wilfried Bony from Swansea City for £28 million during the transfer window in January.

City are unlikely to accept anything below £20mi for Dzeko, who has scored 72 goals in 189 games for the club since he arrived in January 2011 for £27m.

However, after a poor show last season, scoring just six goals in all competitions and starting just 11 times for the team, Roma midfielder Miralem Pjanic suggested his teammate should take a pay cut and move to the Italian capital: "Dzeko would run to Roma and the wages won't be a problem... It all depends on the club."

And despite Dzeko's agent Irfan Redzepagic dismissing the speculation, confirming he is happy in England, City look ready to sell and freshen up their side.

Dzeko may also be followed out of the Etihad this summer by Stevan Jovetic who has been heavily linked with a move to several big European clubs including Roma's Serie A rivals Inter Milan.
