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
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.
