As Inter proceed with their tremendous domestic form in search of a Scudetto repeat, the richest club in the world are in pursuit of one of Nerazzurri’s most coveted veterans. Edin Dzeko has gelled amazingly well at the Giuseppe Meazza after his arrival from Roma, directly replacing Romelu Lukaku’s absence without any hiccups.
According to reports from England and The Sun in particular, Newcastle United are keen on luring in the former Manchester City striker back to the Premier League. However, the Magpies are in a precarious position – in line for their first relegation since the 2015/16 season – knowing they will struggle to strike a permanent deal given their candidacy for a spot in the second-tier.
The former Giallorosso arrived at Inter as a free agent, as the deal only included a €1.8m add-on fees in the event of Champions League qualification.
Although Dzeko possesses a transfermarkt value of just €4m, he is undoubtedly an important player for Simone Inzaghi.
He has 11 goals and 4 assists in 23 appearances for the Nerazzurri, proving to be a bargain transfer so far. His contract with the club expires in June 2023.
Eddie Howe’s Newcastle only just registered their first win of the season – a 1-0 victory over Burnley – and luring the 35-year-old Bosnian will certainly not be an easy job, no matter the fees involved.
