The Bosnian striker has flopped in his debut season in Rome but Mancini worked alongside him during his spell at Manchester City.
Corriere dello Sport reports today that Mancio has spoken to Dzeko in recent weeks and suggests that a surprise transfer move could be on the table.

Corriere dello Sport reports today that Mancio has spoken to Dzeko in recent weeks and suggests that a surprise transfer move could be on the table.
The Nerazzurri are currently restricted by Financial Fair Play penalties and could consider selling Icardi to the Giallorossi in exchange for Dzeko and a lump sum of cash.
Given the differing age and form of the two strikers, Roma would need to hand the Beneamata at least €25m as well as the Bosnian, says the report.
Roma sporting director Walter Sabatini yesterday admitted that ‘Dzeko has lost his place’, fuelling speculation that he is heading for the exit door.
