It may have come with short notice for the Portuguese boss as the league kick-off is set for Saturday, August 21, but Roma still have time to land Dzeko’s replacement, should the Bosnian ends up moving to the Nerazzurri.

Despite losing an important player for the club, this might be a great opportunity for Mourinho’s Roma to givean upgrade to their attack. According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, The Special One has a principal target to take over for Dzeko.

The 35-year-old seems to be just one step away from moving to the 2020/21 Serie A winners. Journalist Fabrizio Romano has reported that Edin Dzeko has already agreed on a contract until 2023 with Inter Milan, who see in him Lukaku’s replacement.

The Belgian superstar would return to Chelsea for this season and the Nerazzurri have moved fast to fill his vacancy. Romano has added that Dzeko and Inter are waiting for Roma to find a new striker before completing the move.

Jose Mourinho seems to have already identified his principal candidate to be Roma’s No. 9. According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, he wants to bring in PSG’s Mauro Icardi, who has struggled to perform at his best for the French club.

The Argentine striker, on the other hand, had previously shone at Serie A with Inter. With the Lionel Messi saga possibly changing things in Paris Saint-Germain, Icardi might find it difficult to have a pivotalrole from now on. His market value, according to Transfermarkt, is $44 million and he is still under contract until 2024,so Roma would have to make a financial effort.

Icardi has scored in PSG’s 2-1 win over Troyes on Matchday 1 of 2021/22 Ligue 1 and played the fullgame. Last season, he mostly played as a starter after missing several games through injury, but was benched in the first leg of the Champions League semis against Manchester City and only played 62′ in the second leg. Besides, Messi’s arrival could change Icardi’s situation andMourinho’s interest could be very tempting.

According to reports from Dzeko’s native Bosnia, he is set to leave Roma and move to the United States and suit up for the five-time MLS champions, Los Angeles Galaxy. The report indicates that Dzeko’s wife has even found a school for their daughter in the Los Angeles area.

The MLS season has already begun, and the Galaxy have started their season with a bang, sitting second in the west after 6 matches. MLS teams are known for taking a chance on established players from Europe past their prime, but today, are paying them at a very reduced wage. Here are the supposed details of Edin Dzeko’s move to the Los Angeles Galaxy.

Edin Dzeko to MLS

According to the Bosnian report, Dzeko’s wife has already lived in Los Angeles, it is where the couple met while Dzeko was at Manchester City. Bosnian agent Admir Husaric, who does not represent the striker, stated in an interview that “I’ve heard he will join LA Galaxy, but I can’t reveal the details because the deal is not done yet.”

Despite his advanced age, Dzeko is a contributor, he scored 7 goals in 24 games this season for Roma and has 85 in 196 games in total. The striker’s contract does not expire until June 2022, but if he were to force a deal the Italian club would have no issue letting him go on a free.

New Roma boss, José Mourinho, is said to be keen on keeping the striker, as he sees him as a very good squad player. Dzeko’s strike ratio is very good, he has 304 career goals in 609 games.

As far as the Los Angeles Galaxy is concerned, the team is off to a flying start, and at forward the club has Javier Hernández, who has scored 7 goals after 5 games this season. Dzeko would be a welcome addition given the Galaxy are very weak at the forward position with no real replacement for Hernández if he were to be injured.

The details of the deal were not revealed, nor the length of the contract if Dzeko would move to the United States. Nonetheless the idea is not farfetched.
