Manchester City On Alert As Wolfsburg Hitman Edin Dzeko Seeks Move To A "Big Club"
Bosnian attacker wants to play in a higher quality league...
By Anthony Sciarrino
Edin Dzeko is seeking a transfer to a “big club” this summer, leaving the door open for Manchester City to make a move for the Wolfsburg striker.
The Bundesliga club has stated that they will not sell the Bosnia and Herzegovina international for less than £34 million, but City officials value the 24-year-old as worth £22-24 million.
Italian giants Juventus are also interested Dzeko, who is currently in pre-season training with Wolfsburg, but the star striker has told the club that he wants to leave before the season begins.
"I want to clarify that it is not a matter of money, but of ambition. I feel I have to take a leap in quality and play for a big club,” Dzeko told The Telegraph.
"It is an important moment of my career and I also explained that to the leaders of Wolfsburg.
“With them I have a wonderful relationship and I am sure they will fulfil my desire."
Dzeko was the leading scorer in the Bundesliga last season, scoring 22 league goals as Wolfsburg finished a disappointing eighth one year after winning their first league title two seasons ago.
