Roma complete Dzeko transfer

The Serie A club will pay City €4million (£2.87m) for the season, and will then pay another €11m (£7.88m) to make the transfer permanent if certain conditions are met.

The Bosnia global scored 72 goals in 189 appearances for City since joining from Wolfsburg in January 2011 but he dropped down the striking pecking order.

Eden Dzeko Celebrates Opening Goal Against Newcastle.

“The 29-year-old striker put pen to paper on a contract with the Giallorossi today after successfully completing his medical in Italy”.

The 19-year-old had struggled for game time under Rudi Garcia and could turn out for his new side in their pre-season clash with Villarreal on Saturday.

He signed a new four-year deal last summer but as he failed to spark last season he began to be linked with a move away, and Roma have been pursuing his signature for several weeks.

However, manager Manuel Pellegrini recently admitted Dzeko was likely to leave following the £49m capture of Liverpool forward Raheem Sterling.

“Edin made a big contribution to this club”, he said. He will be a very good player for Roma and he will have a successful season.

I appreciate what Edin did for the team and also for me because we won two titles together.

In addition, Alvaro Negredo completed a permanent move to Valencia but that was guaranteed as part of the terms of his loan move in 2014. “I send him the best wishes”.
