Meanwhile, the Premier League champions have held talks with Dzeko’s agent in London, the Mirror report.
Antonio Conte is keen on signing the 31-year-old striker as he looks to boost his attack in January with Alvaro Morata so far not meeting expectations.
However, the Bosnian’s personal demands have held up proceedings. Dzeko is seeking a two-year contract at the very least but Chelsea’s policy for players over 30 is to only offer one-year contracts.
