Man City fail to get ‘Dzek-ed’ out
Wolfsburg striker Edin Dzeko was apparently atop of Manchester City’s summer transfer list, but the Bosnian striker looks set to stay in Germany playing for new manager Steve McClaren. Dzeko is still at the Bundesliga club despite having a transfer clause that expired on Monday May 31st.
The clause was said to allow the striker to be transfered to another club at £34 million and City were said to be ahead of all other interested parties. But since the deadline has passed and no one has met the desired bid, it will now be up to the club to decide how much they want for their prized asset. Dzeko is also being targeted by Bayern Munich, Arsenal, AC Milan, and even Totteham, amongst others. The Bosnian has said he wants a new challenge elsewhere, and City’s Garry Cook was supposedly in Germany over the weekend in urgent negotiations to bring the player to Eastlands.
