AC Milan have put Roma striker Edin Dzeko at the top of their summer shopping list, according to reports in Italy.
Gennaro Gattuso wants to add a new striker to his squad and could be tempted to pay the £22million it would take to prize him from the club’s Serie A rivals.
The Bosnian came close to joining Chelsea in the January window but the two clubs were unable to agree a deal.Milan are ready to pounce for the former Manchester City ace and have already opened talks, according to Tuttosport.
He is set to be offered a £4m-a-year deal plus add-ons.
They claim that Nikola Kalinic could be a casualty of Milan’s pursuit of the 31-year-old.
Milan do not plan on keeping the Croat permanently after his loan spell from Fiorentina comes to an end.
The 30-year-old has found the back of the net just four times in 24 appearances so far this season.
Dzeko, by contrast, has 14 goals in 32 appearances in this campaign after playing a starring role last year.
