Chelsea have agreed a fee with Roma for striker Edin Dzeko and are closing in on the Bosnian.
The Blues are looking to snap up both Dzeko and his Roma team-mate Emerson Palmieri, but despite talk of a double deal, the transfers are being negotiated separately.
The Premier League champions are now close to signing Dzeko after agreeing a fee with Roma.
According to Italian outlet Calciomercato.it, Chelsea have thrashed out a fee of €30m plus a series of bonus payments, based on a set criteria being met.
It is claimed that Dzeko has at no stage asked for the move to Chelsea, however the striker is excited about returning to play his football in the Premier League for the English champions.
