Dzeko hopes for Wolfsburg exit

Edin Dzeko is hoping Wolfsburg will allow him to leave this summer after claiming to have received a 'good offer'.

The Bosnia-Herzegovina ace has established himself as one of the most potent strikers in European football in recent seasons and has been linked with several clubs.

Manchester City and Juventus are both reportedly keen to sign the 24-year-old, but failed to make offers before a deadline included in Dzeko's contract.

A get-out clause in his deal, which runs until 2013, stipulates that he would have been allowed to leave Wolfsburg if a club offered £32.5million before 1st June.

However, having not received any bids matching that valuation before the deadline, the Bundesliga club are determined to hang on to Dzeko during the transfer window.

Dzeko, though, remains keen to quit Wolfsburg and is planning talks with new coach Steve McClaren regarding the possibility of securing a move.

"I now want to represent a big club so I can develop further," Dzeko told kicker-Sportmagazin. "This has now become my big desire. I hope and I believe VfL will let me leave now.

"I am aware of the clauses in my contract, but I have already said that this point in time would be too early. It is too early for other clubs.

"Now I have received a good offer I have to talk about it with the manager and the managing director."
