Last summer, Dzeko joined Inter from Roma for a zero transfer fee. This season, Dzeko has made 31 appearances for Inter in all competitions, including 24 starts, scoring 13 goals and providing 7 assists, making him the most goalscored by Inter at present. In last week's Coppa Italia clash, Dzeko scored a goal shortly after the start to help Inter beat Jose Mourinho's Roma.
In an interview with the media, Dzeko talked about leaving Roma to join Inter last summer. "Last summer, it was the first time I said to myself, 'I'm going to stay here, I'm not going anywhere.'" Two years before that, Inter wanted to sign me, and the year before that, Juventus wanted me to join. But last summer, when Mourinho came to Rome, I didn't expect to leave myself. ”
"Mourinho talked to me after he came to Rome and he knew I had a year left on my contract. But what an honour it is for such a great coach to come to the Club of Roma. I told him at the time that I would stay here and that I would give everything for you and the club. But I'm in contract years and anything is going to happen and we can only face it. A few days later, Tammy Abraham came to Roma from Chelsea and Inter came looking for me. Dzeko explained.
36-year-old Zheke still maintains a good competitive state. However, Tammy Abraham, who joined Roma this season, is also quite good in terms of personal data, and so far this season, he has scored 17 goals for Roma.
