Edin Dzeko has had a fantastic season atInter and has proven to be a great replacement for Romelu Lukaku.The reigning Serie A champions traded the Belgian star striker to Chelsea for €115 million this summer, and Dzeko was bought on a free transfer as a replacement.
The 35-year-old Bosnia captaincame to Inter for free after his contract with Roma was terminated, but his side may be tempted to sell the striker for a quick profit, considering the fact that the club is still struggling from a financial point of view.
The representative of Bosnia and Herzegovina has scored eight goals so far this season in Serie A and in the Champions League, he has netted three times so far, helping the Nerazzurri reach the UEFA Champions LeagueKnockout Round for the first timein 10 years.

All this was enough to attract the interest of the richest club in the world, Newcastle, who aredesperately looking for a new top goalscorer to add to their ranks. The Premier League powerhouse areready to pay €30 millionto Inter Milan, but they would have to offer a big sum to the Black and Bluesmanagement.
They would have toconvince them tosell one of their best players in the midstof the season, especially when Inter are located on top of the 2021-22Serie A season table after 18 rounds. Dzeko just joinedthe Serie A champions this summer ona two-year contract, but taking into accountNewcastle’s wealth, the Serie A side might cash in on their veteran attacker while he is still at the top of his game.
