Chelsea have made steps forward in their negotiations with Roma for both Edin Dzeko and Emerson Palmieri, claim Sky Sport Italia.
There were reports today in England that Dzeko was unlikely to make the move and pessimism was growing around both transfers.
However, Sky Sport Italia transfer guru Gianluca Di Marzio insists this evening that negotiations made good progress today, although another 24 hours will be needed to find a real breakthrough.
Chelsea are now offering €50m plus €6m in bonuses, €30m of which is for Dzeko, but the Giallorossi are asking for a little more.
The Stamford Bridge side are also prepared to give the Bosnian a longer contract at €5.5m per year compared to the €4.5m he currently earns at Roma.

we as a club need to do whatever possible to sign him!!! he's a proven goal scorer in every league he's played in, and even at 32 years old is much rather sign him then Carroll or Barnes or crouch, like c'mon we are CFC and we don't sign players who're not good enough to wear the famous Chelsea Blue!!!! Chelsea should be tried to sign Sanchez or try for Aubamyang we don't need a back up striker like Andy Carroll that's just pathetic and would be an embarrassment to sign him, even at his best he was still never worthy of the chelsea blue. we're the one and only team in London with a Europa league and champions league titles to there name let's start spending some money on world class players and stop wasting time with the rubbish players we're being linked too. I do have faith in my BLUES and I know they'll do some good business by deadline day. CFC 4 LIFE!!!! 💙💙💙💙💙⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽

Chelsea only owns a name, they are extremely poor than the championship teams, am Chelsea fan but let's be honest, they can't compete with Man U or Man city even with Liverpool so Conte is right, Chelsea is no more the Chelsea we use to know, no better player coming to Chelsea only firings
