Marotta had tried to catch the Bosnian forward as early as 2010, but the valuation (35 million) at the time was prohibitive. The first Italian goal that Edin scored against the Bianconeri, but now … finally married
The first courtship ten years ago, now the commitment is one step away. A fictional story: a youthful spark that fails and explodes after years, almost unexpectedly. Dzeko was 24 years old, Juve was immature after relegation to Serie B and was trying to get up. It was the summer of 2010 and Beppe Marotta, at Juventus, was working to bring the Bosnian force to Wolfsburg in Turin. But the demands of the Germans were high: 35 million euros. And the fierce competition: Manchester City were a club with high ambitions and willing to do anything to bring home one of the most promising forwards of the moment.
NEGOTIATION
–
In 2009 Edin had dragged Wolfsburg to victory in the Bundesliga with 26 goals in 32 games, the following year the 22 goals were enough to be the top scorer in the German league. Who knows how much a young striker with these numbers would be worth now … For Juve back then, those 35 million were a prohibitive figure. But especially in that market session, you could only buy from a non-EU citizen: the final choice of the company fell on Krasic. The Bosnian already had a principle of agreement with the Bianconeri, he had chosen Turin but City won. Dzeko moved to England in January 2010 and his heir to lead the Wolfsburg attack was Mario Mandukic.
AND NOW
–
The two arrived together in Italy: the first to Rome, the second to Juve. Intertwining. Dzeko’s first goal in Serie A wearing the Giallorossi jersey was against Juve: on August 30, 2015 at the Olimpico. Pjanic also scored, then passed the Bianconeri and Dybala. La Lupa won 2-1. Edin has become a symbol of Roma, but ten years after that courtship, Juve and Dzeko are close. Very close. Young Edin is now a mature forward, a veteran of our football. Immature Juve has become the steamroller of Serie A and a team aiming to make it big in Europe. They could grow up together, Dzeko and the Lady. They grew up elsewhere and are now waiting to grow even more. It seems fiction. But it is simply one of many intertwines in the intricate world of soccer.
