According to Tuttomercato, Cagliari has approached Edin Dzeko with the aim of signing him as a replacement for the injured Andrea Belotti. Contacts are ongoing to convince Dzeko to accept the move and to reach an economic agreement. Dzeko's salary at Fiorentina is just under 2 million euros net per season. His contract with the club runs until June 30 and includes an automatic renewal based on appearances, a threshold he is unlikely to reach.

Cagliari are looking to strengthen their attack and are considering Edin Džeko of Fiorentina. The Bosnian-Herzegovinian international is also a target for Genoa, and it is reported that Cagliari is approaching the potential transfer with caution due to his age and a difficult season. It is not ruled out that Director of Sport Guido Angelozzi might pursue this as a final option, and Džeko's contract with Fiorentina expires on June 30, 2026.
