Report: Chelsea plays hardball with Roma for Dzeko, Emerson
According to the outlet, the two players would move to London as part of separate deals. Additionally, throwing another wrinkle into the transaction, should Dzeko remain in the Eternal City, Chelsea may drop their pursuit altogether.
So, while they may be separate transactions, the fates of the Bosnian striker and Brazilian left back are intertwined.
