With Edin Dzeko likely headed to Inter, Roma need a new center-forward. Sardar Azmoun is not the only candidate, but their other targets are complicated to get and expensive. Mauro Icardi, Tammy Abraham and Alexander Isak sit atop of the list, but each of these potential acquisitions is challenging for various reasons.
Atalanta and Chelsea have reportedly scheduled a meeting to discuss the prospect of Tammy Abraham's move to Bergamo. Per reputed journalist Fabrizio Romano, the parties are due to meet within 48 hours to explore the possibility of the Englishman's permanent switch to Serie A.
Inter will switch their attention towards Atalanta striker Duvan Zapata if Romelu Lukaku ends up joining Chelsea in the summer transfer window. According to TuttoSport (via SempreInter), the reigning Serie A champions have identified the ex-Napoli marksman as the perfect long-term replacement for the Belgium international.
Chelsea have made significant strides in their pursuit of Romelu Lukaku. The striker has decided to return to the Blues and communicated his intentions to Inter. They will try to monetize the sale as much as possible, but the deal appears destined to go through. Once completing it, they will target Atalanta's Duvan Zapata.
