If Roma sell Edin Dzeko to Chelsea, then they’ll bring in Gerard Deulofeu from Barcelona, according to reports.
The negotiations seem to have resumed in earnest over the last 24 hours, with Monday expected to be decisive one way or the other.
Emerson Palmieri’s transfer to Stamford Bridge seems to be certain for €20m plus €6m in bonuses, while Dzeko alone would cost €30m.

According to Mediaset Premium, Roma have identified Dzeko’s replacement as Deulofeu.
The Spaniard is more of a winger and had also been linked with Inter and Napoli over the last few weeks, having spent six months last season on loan at Milan.
Deulofeu’s introduction would allow Patrik Schick and Gregoire Defrel to move into their more traditional centre-forward roles.
Barcelona demand €1m for a six-month loan with another €15-19m option to buy at the end of the season.
