Dzeko: 'Wolfsburg, let me join Juve!'
Thursday 12 August, 2010
Edin Dzeko has made a vivid appeal for Juventus to sign him. “I’m infuriated with Wolfsburg, they broke their promise to release me.”
The striker was Milan’s main transfer target last summer and is now the primary objective for Juve, but the Bundesliga side has continually declared he is not for sale.
“I’m infuriated with Wolfsburg,” the Bosnian told German newspaper Sport Bild.
“They broke their promises made last summer. I was asked to stay for another year and, in case Milan were still interested in me, I would be released.
“This summer the Rossoneri looked for me again, but they weren’t the only ones. Juventus have done and are doing everything to have me, but every offer is not seriously considered.
“Uli Hoeness told me that the agreements made last season are no longer valid, because they were made by Coach Armin Veh and manager Frank Aehlig.
“I want to play for an important club and the Wolfsburg directors know that,” continued a furious Dzeko.
“I have clearly stated that Juventus represent the best option for me. My contract clause of €40m should not have been an obstacle to my sale, it was introduced last summer to look after the club.
“My agent confirmed that Wolfsburg have received many offers close to this sum from Italian, Spanish and English clubs. I had the opportunity to leave and it was denied to me. I hope by August 31 this can be sorted out.
“I know Bayern Munich also showed interest, but I have other plans and see my future in a different League, certainly not the Bundesliga.
“If I cannot decide when to leave, they certainly can’t stop me refusing offers that do not entice me at all.”
