Inter wanted to bring in Dzeko, and Rome had a crush on Abraham
New Express News reporter Wang Di reported that in the early morning of Beijing time yesterday, Chelsea officially announced the signing of Lukaku, with a transfer fee of up to 115 million euros. With Romelu Lukaku's departure, Inter are also seizing the time to bring in strikers. Inter have negotiated 35-year-old Bosnian and Herzegovina centre-forward Edin Dzeko and tried to persuade Roma to let Dzeko leave the team for free. For Roma, once Dzeko leaves, Roma will find a way to sign Chelsea striker Tammy Abraham.
Inter's desire for Dzeko was not a whim. Since 2018, Inter has continued to "secretly send autumn waves" to Zheke, but suffering from shyness in the pocket, Inter has never been able to let Zheke really become a member of his own family. Even if Lukaku is now cashed out for 115 million euros, Inter don't want to pay too much for Dzeko. At present, Dzeko's contract with Roma is still one year old, and it is naturally impossible for Roma to expect to exchange a lot of cash for Dzeko, but it is not realistic for Inter to take Dzeko for free. Italian media speculate that Dzeko has become closer and closer to Inter, and Inter will probably pay a symbolic transfer fee for Dzeko, with a transfer fee of around 2 million euros. In addition, Inter also matched Everton's Keane Jr. and Lazio's Correa, but Dzeko was Lukaku's number one replacement.
Of course, Dzeko leaves, and Roma clubs also have to make up for it up front. So, who did Roma boss Jose Mourinho fall for? The answer is Tammy Abraham, who has completely lost his place at Chelsea. After Lukaku's arrival, Abraham's living space will be compressed to the extreme. It is reported that Chelsea and Roma have basically agreed on Abraham's loan, even if Abraham himself is still hesitating, but everyone understands that staying in Chelsea is not good for Abraham, and Roma can give Abraham the main position. To continue to grow, Tammy Abraham must find a team with a steady chance to play.
Interestingly, if all sides have achieved the set goal of the transfer, it is equivalent to Inter, Roma and Chelsea making a big move in the front line.
