Dzeko's agent: I don't know about any bid. General manager of Wolfsburg Ditetmar Hoeness is in Kitzbuhlu and I haven't heard him these days.

Sweet. I don't think anyone here needed that as much as I did.
...Another massive blow we endured. So much money wasted. We could have bought Dzeko easily with our flops. (amauri 22m, diego 25m)...
Son of a gun.

Who in their right mind would play for Man City anyway?
Man City as we know it today, simply can't excist when UEFA's FFP rules kicks in. The clubs income doesn't even come close to covering the massive wagebill they have now, and this will only get bigger as the years go.
There is no future at Man City, if you wanna play with the big boys for the years to come.
Hopefully Dzeko sees that, and don't get blinded by the money they are throwing at him.

BBC reporting on it now... main story

Funny some guy saying on BBC messageboards he doesn't think Dzeko is strong enough for EPL :L
Yeah could be a big mistake if he goes there, or could turn them into serious title contenders. Still need to sort their defence though. Man Utd aren't as strong as they used to be, Chelsea are faltering, Arsenal are same old so there is a chance for City this season imo now. Not because they are a great team just because others aren't that strong

Loved this part.
The 27m euros paid by Juventus for Werder Bremen's Diego in May 2009 is the highest fee received by a Bundesliga club from a team outside of Germany.
Diego lasted only a season in Serie A, returning to the Bundesliga with Wolfsburg, who paid 15.5m euros for the Brazilian international.

Edin Dzeko is set to break the Bundesliga transfer record by joining Manchester City from Wolfsburg for a fee in the region of 40 million euros ($52.1 million) , according to reports in Germany.
The Bosnian striker has made no secret of his desire to leave the German side for a bigger club and, while his dream has always been to join AC Milan, the fact the Italians have just signed Antonio Cassano from Sampdoria reduces the chances of that move coming off.
However, City has the ambition to become one of Europe's top clubs and it also has the financial backing, and a transfer of Dzeko next month is looking more likely.
Coach Roberto Mancini has also confirmed that he is a fan of the 24-year-old.
The Wolfsburger Allgemeine newspaper quotes Mancini saying: "We have the chance to win the league this year and the decisive factor could be Edin Dzeko.
"This player can decide titles and that is why we want him."
Wolfsburg's managing director Dieter Hoeness declared last week that his club is preparing to make major changes to the playing personnel after a disappointing first half of the season.
Selling a player of Dzeko's talent may not be his preference, but the player's malaise at the 2009 Bundesliga champion, who currently seems unlikely to provide him with the chance to play in the Champions League next season, may be one of the reasons the team has not been functioning since Steve McClaren took over as coach this season.
A fee of 40 million euros, which the Wolfsburger Allgemeine reports would be made up of an initial fee of 30 million euros with five million to follow in the case of City qualifying for the Champions League, while five million euros would go on signing-on and agent fees, would break the Bundesliga's transfer record.
Bayern Munich currently holds that with its 30 million euros outlay on Mario Gomez from Stuttgart in 2009.
Diego's sale from Werder Bremen to Juventus last year is the most expensive foreign sale to date at 27 million euros, while he returned to the Bundesliga this season, joining Wolfsburg for a cut-price fee of 15.5 million.
And the Wolves are set to make a huge profit on a player they signed for just four million from FK Teplice in 2007.
He won the Bundesliga golden boot award last season after coming runner-up to his team mate Grafite in Wolfsburg's championship-winning year.
He has already found the back of the net 10 times this season, taking his overall tally to 66 in 111 games for the Wolves.
