Roma sporting director Walter Sabatini has confirmed the Italian club are seeking to sign Edin Dzeko from Manchester City.
Bosnia-Herzegovina striker Dzeko was limited to just 11 Premier League starts last season - despite scoring 16 goals in the previous campaign as City secured the title.
"Dzeko is not very close, but Roma are trying to get him," Sabatini is quoted as telling reporters at a 'Football Fest' event in Perugia on Friday.
"He's the right man for us, but tough to get, as he's expensive."
The forward had looked set to join Al Jazira, but Sabatini added: "He changed his mind and wants to stay with us now."
