Kampusbet - Chelsea are planning a shock raid on Premier League title rivals Manchester City for Edin Dzeko.
Jose Mourinho will lose the muscular presence of Didier Drogba when the 37-year-old Ivorian’s contract expires next month.
And newly-crowned champions Chelsea are viewing powerful Bosnia & Herzegovina international Dzeko as the ideal replacement.
City
will listen to offers for the 29-year-old - and a fee of £15million was
quoted when interest from Juventus, Inter Milan, Borussia Dortmund and
Wolfsburg was lodged.
But there have been no takers at that price, prompting Chelsea to believe that a bid of £10million may be accepted.
City,
however, will be reluctant to sell to another English club and are
likely to adjust their valuation to flush out a foreign buyer.
Dzeko has endured a poor season at the Etihad, despite signing a new four-year contract last summer.
Bandar Bola - He
has scored just six goals this season - only two more than he has
scored for his country - and has fallen behind £28million Wilfried Bony
in the fight to partner Sergio Aguero in the City attack.
Dzeko, a £27million recruit from Wolfsburg in January 2011, has a knack of what one City insider describes as “heavy goals.”
His first City strike was a late equaliser in a FA Cup tie at Notts
County - and helped propel City to their first trophy in 35 years. And
he also scored at crucial times during the Blues’ two title-winning
campaigns.
Mourinho is looking for a player who can ease the burden on Diego Costa, with club legend Drogba on his way out of the club for a second time and Loic Remy only impressing in flashes.
Dzeko’s knack of scoring important goals has caught the Chelsea manager’s eye.
