Fonseca delighted with Dzeko's new Roma contract but refuses to comment on move for Juventus' Rugani

Roma manager Paulo Fonseca has spoken of his delight at seeing star forward Edin Dzeko sign a new contract this summer, but refused to comment about transfer target Daniele Rugani.

The Bosnian striker, 33, put speculation about his future to bed by committing to a new three-year deal, and will be hoping to add to four productive seasons with the club.

With 87 goals in 179 games in all competitions, he could reach three figures in the coming campaign – though his reliability presents something of an obstacle for the club’s younger prospects.
