The Bosnia and Herzegovina international appears to be set for
an early departure from the Premier League winners, but no
agreement exists between the player and the Bavarians.
The 26-year-old has fallen down the pecking order at City, who
are eager to trim their wage bill. And with his client dissatisfied
with his role at the club, agent Irfan Redzepagic has informed
Bayern that Dzeko, who is highly-rated by Bayern CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, would be happy to move to the
Allianz Arena.
Reports on Tuesday evening claimed that Bayern and Dzeko had
agreed personal terms on a deal to take the player to the Allianz
Arena. However, the striker’s agent vehemently denied these
allegations.
“Of course not! It’s crazy even to comment on that,” Redzepagic
told Bosnian source SportSport.
Dzeko is one of several candidates that Bayern have watched as
they aim to sign two more attackers before the summer transfer
window closes. Olivier Giroud was observed sevearal times before
Bayern opted not to pursue his signing. However, Twente striker
Luuk de Jong is now a candidate.
Goal.com can confirm that the Bayern bosses have made contact
with De Jong’s agent, and that the player is enthusiastic about the
opportunity to play in the Champions League alongside his
compatriot, Arjen Robben. However, a deal for the 21-year-old is
still far from being complete.
De Jong scored 32 times in all competitions last season, and has
a contract that will expire in 2014.
Bayern have already signed a striker in the form of Claudio
Pizarro, who will replace Wolfsburg-bound attacker Ivica Olic.
However, with Nils Petersen likely to leave on loan, squad space
has opened for the Bavarians to add another striker to their ranks
– for now, their top choice remains a mystery.
