Edin Dzeko's move to Chelsea from Roma is being held up because the two clubs cannot agree the payment terms on the transfer, it has been claimed.
Chelsea are moving to sign the former Manchester City striker, along with his Roma team-mate Emerson Palmieri, as they bid to strengthen Antonio Conte's squad for the second half of the campaign.
The deals are all but done and it is claimed Chelsea have agreed a fee of €30m, plus bonus payments, for Dzeko.
But according to Italian outlet Calciomercato.it, the two clubs have not yet agreed the terms of the payment.
Discussions are continuing in a bid to find a solution and Dzeko's agent is currently in London as he attempts to push through the deal.
