Not summoned, officially due to a contusion remedied in the Coppa Italia match against Spezia and which opened the Pandora’s box of critical issues and tensions that have existed for some time, and which have now exploded, around and in the Roma locker room. Edin Dzeko, senator and captain, is one of the protagonists of this story which, hour after hour, is being enriched with details, the last of which opens unimaginable scenarios only a few days ago and which lead, or rather bring back the possibility of a farewell to the Bosnian striker’s Roma shirt.
BREAKDOWN AND CHOICE – A tension between Dzeko and Fonseca resulted in a break in the immediate post-match of the Italian Cup and even harder in the following morning when a strong diplomatic job was needed to get the team back to training. This morning, Fonseca also reiterated at a press conference, the contact between the Friedkins and the Portuguese coach lo he momentarily reassured his stability on the bench and then, as a natural and due consequence, there was the opening to the immediate farewell of Edin Dzeko. In fact, even the American owners have for some time been reflecting on the centrality of the number 9 in the Giallorossi project and the break could represent a turning point not only for this winter transfer session, in figures and in ways that would allow Rome to attempt the assault on a replacement, but possibly also for the next summer market.
JUVE AND INTER ON ALERT – Everything will depend on the result of tomorrow’s match that will see Roma face La Spezia again, but if Fonseca were to come out with a convincing race and 3 points despite heavy absences, then the path traced for Dzeko would remain that of farewell. Over the last few years he has been very much courted in Italy by Inter and Juventus who are already on the alert to understand conditions and possibilities. Few, in reality they are those of the Nerazzurri, struggling with a very difficult economic situation and for which, without the exit of both Eriksen and Pinamonti it will be possible even to hypothesize the inclusion of Dzeko in the squad. More fluid at Juve, where the summer suggestion (which also included the arrival of Milik in Rome) has not faded despite Morata (and despite the club have hastened to produce ritual denials). Also for the bianconeri it will be necessary to make room for wages and to hypothesize certain but diversified payment formulas. Ideas, hypotheses or just dreams, but with a single common denominator: the rift between Dzeko and Roma is getting deeper and deeper.
