Roma are preparing to sell Edin Dzeko at the end of the season.

According to Calciomercato, Roma have decided not to offer a new contract to veteran striker Edin Dzeko this summer, and he looks set to move on.

Dzeko, 32, has been superb in front of goal since joining Roma from Manchester City in 2015, smashing 85 goals in 167 games for the Italian side.

The Bosnian target man has notched 12 goals in 28 games this season, but it could prove to be his final campaign with Roma.

Calciomercato report that Roma are not planning to offer Dzeko a new deal, and are likely to sell this summer when he enters the final 12 months of his contract.

It’s added that there a number of clubs in the mix, including Crystal Palace, Everton and West Ham United, as well as Inter Milan.

Dzeko is no stranger to English football having spent four-and-a-half years with City, scoring 72 goals in 189 games whilst winning two Premier League titles.

He worked under now-West Ham boss Manuel Pellegrini at City, so a reunion between the pair would certainly make a lot of sense this summer.

Palace only have Michy Batshuayi on loan so may well see Dzeko as another option, but a move to Everton would be a shock, as he doesn’t exactly fit Marcel Brands’ policy at the age of 32.
