Inter in the lead for Sturridge but Roma could join race should Dzeko join Chelsea

Inter took the early lead in the race for Sturridge, but the situation could change. The nerazzurri have received the player’s approval and are in talks with Liverpool, but now the Italian club must decide if they’ll accept the terms proposed: loan for two million with an option to buy between 20 and 30 million. At the moment Inter have concerns on the striker’s physical condition and there’s the possibility Roma will join the race should Dzeko leave during this window. The Bosnian is in fact moving closer to joining Chelsea, they’re now negotiating the bonuses, and the giallorossi could surpass Inter in the sweepstakes. Roma know the parameters of Liverpool’s demands and they’ll evaluate in the coming hours if they’ll pursue a potential deal.
