Ervin Zukanović (born 11 February 1987) is a Bosnian professional footballer who plays as a centre back or left back for Italian club Roma and the Bosnia and Herzegovina national team.

Club career

Early career

Prior to joining Serie A, Zukanović played for Željezničar, Kortrijk and Gent, among others.

Chievo

On 20 June 2014 he was signed by Chievo in a temporary deal, with an option to buy.[2] He picked his year of birth as his shirt number.[3] On 11 June 2015 Chievo excised the option to sign him outright[4] for a reported €1 million.[5]

Sampdoria

On 15 July 2015 Zukanović joined Sampdoria for a fee of €3.053 million plus ownership of Fabrizio Cacciatore,[6] after long negotiations, when it was thought that he would go to Inter Milan. Upon arriving for his medical, he stated that Sampdoria was always his first choice, stating “Inter wanted me, but I decided it was best for my future to come to Sampdoria.”[7][8][9][10]

Roma

On 29 January 2016, he completed his move to Roma, on loan until the end of the season for initial €1.2 million, and buy option set at €2.8 million.[11] One month later, Roma exercised their buy option, signing Zukanović permanently.[12]

International career

Zukanović was first called-up to the Bosnia and Herzegovina senior team for World Cup qualifying matches against Greece and Lithuania in October 2012,[13] making his debut against the latter.

He was also selected to Bosnia and Herzegovina's preliminary squad for the 2014 FIFA World Cup. He failed to join the team, which had a training camp in the United States, due to visa problems.[14] However, Zukanović later blamed the Bosnian FA, which subsequently got him dropped from the squad.[15]

After the firing of Safet Sušić, Zukanović was re-selected by new coach Mehmed Baždarević in March 2015. Zukanović made his return in a match against Andorra for Euro 2016 qualifying.
