It's not even certain there's any intrest in Dzeko from juve yet. Just speculation. but if there is, And you do try for the sneaky Italian loan with an option to buy deal. City should send the ball right back into your court with a counter offer of Loan with a legal guarantee to buy or kindly fu*ck right off, lol
I'm pretty sure that if Juve buy Dzeko, it will be an outright purchase. As a matter of fact, that will be the case for any +15m eur striker we buy this summer.

As for that legal guarantee, I don't think something like that would happen. It will be a gentlemens agreement. We did lots of such transfers. Even though some players seriously underperformed, we bought them simply because we gave the word for it. You can't play with the word in top football. Once you break a promise everyone will know about it and good luck making similar deals in the future. Nobody will work with you. Aquilani's case for example was different. We didn't take an obligation to buy him, we didn't give the word to Liverpool. If we did, everyone would have known about it by now, and no other team would have loaned us a player with rights to buy.

Anyway, at least in Italy, loan+rights to buy is often nothing more but a purchase in 4 installments. Since 3 yearly installments is the most allowed for a direct purchase, loan+rights to buy gives the opportunity for more than 3 (4 in this case) installments.

Finally, I don't think that Dzeko is interested in joining Juve. Maybe if City tell him that he's not in their plans and no big English team wants him.

The chance that Dzeko would underperform to the point of not buying after loan is extremely slim, and secondly as Alen said its pretty easy to do a loan with option to buy kinda deal (hypothetically speaking, zero chance we would loan Dzeko, only buy). And "loans" for us just means delayed purchases. happens every summer (this one so far loaned player we bought is Caceres). Aquilani just sucked balls that he wasnt even worth bidding 50% of what they wanted, heck right now Pool are offering him to Fiorentina, and even those desperate mofos dont want him that badly (but prolly will go there, and flop).

Apparently if we back off from signing RVP, Mancini will green light us signing Dzeko
Whether this is true or not, it was only a matter of time before this was mentioned. Like Man City's bid depends on us...

It's more a case of them wanting us to buy Dzeko so they can buy RVP, thus eliminating our interest.

We should not go a penny above 20m if we are serious about signing him..
Dzeko loan with 'agreement' to buy for €20m, taking on 70%-80% of his wages would be a good deal.

It would also not discount Jovetic, as you could treat it as deals over two summer windows and leave us set in attack.

This scenario would be the first really fap worthy scenario since Calciopoli.
