Juventus' talks for Wolfsburg striker Edin Dzeko have been blown off course and the winds of change don't appear to be changing direction as Giuseppe Marotta dashes hopes of a resolution.

Despite a report in Friday's edition of Tuttosport claiming a deal for Dzeko was still alive, Marotta has confirmed the club will be pulling out of negotiations as the Germans are in no mood to soften their stance on a €40 million cash transfer.

"Dzeko? We like him, but Wolfsburg won't sell, and so the discussion is now closed," Marotta told Il Corriere dello Sport.

But hope remains for CSKA Moscow winger Milos Krasic.

"Krasic? He is a winger that would be good for us. We will evaluate things. Our team in still being shaped and anything can happen until the end of August," he said.
