    Serie-A News: Dzeko signs for Inter after Lukaku’s departure for Chelsea

    Edin Dzeko joined Inter as the Serie A champions moved quickly to replace Romelu Lukaku.

    Inter Milan sold Lukaku to Chelsea for £ 97.5m (€ 115m) last week and a deal was quickly completed to bring Dzeko from Roma.

    The 35-year-old has signed a two-year contract with Inter Milan and, although the move wasn’t officially announced until Saturday night, he played a preseason friendly against Dynamo Kyiv.

    Inter win the game behind closed doors 3-0, with Dzeko scoring and contributing to another goal.

    “The sensations are good, I am very happy. This is a great opportunity for me, I want to thank the management and the coach for the trust, because they think I can still make a difference, “said Dzeko.

    “I arrive at Inter, a great club, the champions of Italy. In these six years in Serie AI I have been able to see closely what Inter are and what they represent: now I can play with them and I am very happy. “

    Dzeko scored just seven Serie A goals in 27 appearances last season.

    In total, he scored 77 goals in the Italian top flight with Roma, topping the scorer rankings in the 2016-17 season with 29 goals.

    Simone Inzhagi’s side was further strengthened by the arrival of Dutch full-back Denzel Dumfries, who signed a contract until 2025 after leaving PSG.

    Genoa are Inter’s first opponent in the 2021-22 Serie A season, which kicks off next weekend.
