Juventus Will Not Go Mad For Wolfsburg Striker Edin Dzeko; Deal For CSKA Moscow's Milos Krasic Still Simmering.
Marotta underlines Dzeko plan, Krasic may arrive if deal for striker fails...
By Salvatore Landolina
Juventus director Giuseppe Marotta revealed the club will not go berserk for Wolfsburg ace Edin Dzeko.
Sky Sport Italia were reporting late on Monday night that Marotta was set to fly to Germany and stage talks with Dieter Hoeness for the Bosnian. The Italian didn't travel, but spoke to the Germans, who made it clear they are not interested in part-exchange deals - the idea was Diego and cash for Dzeko.
Wolfsburg are holding out for a cash deal, knowing Juventus and Manchester City are moving with alacrity.
But Marotta has said the Old Lady is not prepared to break the bank and plunge the club into the red.
"Dzeko is one of the best strikers in the world and clearly he is one of our objectives," he told Tuttosport.
"But we have to keep in line with club policies on spending and we are not in the Champions League, so we have to watch our accounts.
"I spoke with Hoeness, but I cannot reveal everything. In today's market there aren't many clubs that can allow themselves to go crazy.
"We will be rational with Dzeko."
And should the Dzeko deal collapse, Il Corriere dello Sport claims Juventus will reignite the bundle of kindling for CSKA Moscow star Milos Krasic.
Juve's non-EU quota slot would not be taken up if Dzeko joins Manchester City, leaving the door open for Krasic.
City appear to have given up on the Serbian winger after landing David Silva from Valencia, meaning Juventus can close a deal for around €15 million, despite the Russians wanting €18m
