“Everyone benefited from the decision to turn down Chelsea” in January, said Edin Dzeko’s agent after Roma reached the Champions League semi-final.
The Bosnian had seemed on the verge of a big money move to Stamford Bridge, but opted to remain at the Stadio Olimpico.
It certainly paid off, as he scored in each leg for the Giallorossi to knock Barcelona out of Europe, 4-4 on aggregate.

“Edin didn’t need to prove he was one of the best strikers in the world last night. If anything, he just confirmed it again,” smiled agent Irfan Redzepagic on Tuttomercatoweb.
“Let’s just say everyone benefited from the decision to turn down Chelsea: it was good for Roma, for the fans and for Edin too, so we are all happy.”
Roma lost 4-1 at Camp Nou, but demolished the Blaugrana 3-0 at the Olimpico last night.
The Serie A club have kept five clean sheets at home in the Champions League this season and also beat Chelsea by the same scoreline.
