“Edin Dzeko is very important to us and the ban is unfortunately, but Nikola Kalinic is in good shape and I have faith in him. Kalinic is only on loan, so we’ll re-evaluate the situation in June, but there is the idea of getting a young centre-forward to be the future of Roma. It’s still premature to discuss that now.”
The Giallorossi had agreed a deal for Matteo Politano in a straight swap with Leonardo Spinazzola, only for Inter to pull the plug last week.
“I’d prefer not to talk about that anymore. The Spinazzola-Politano deal was done, it was closed. We’ll take more in future about the wide player we want to bring in.”
