Bayern set to swoop for Dzeko - report
May 29, 2012
Bayern Munich hv agreed terms with Edin Dzeko over a move 2 the Allianz Arena but r yet 2 agree a fee with ManC 4 the striker, according 2 German broadcaster Sport1.
Dzeko, 26, began the 2011-12 season in blistering form 4 Roberto Mancini's side but appeared 2 lose his confidence & the faith of his manager in the 2nd half of the campaign, starting just 8 games aft the turn of the year.
The Bosnia international still played a key role in City's Premier League title success by scoring 14 goals, including a crucial late equaliser against QPR on the final day of the season, but often appeared frustrated @ his lack of game time behind 1st-choice frontman Sergio Aguero.
Since the season ended, Dzeko has been heavily linked with a switch 2 Italian giants Juventus, though his agent claimed last week tat he wanted 2 stay @ City.
"Dzeko remains @ ManC," Irfan Redzepagic told tuttomercatoweb. "We r pleased 4 the rumours abt Juventus, they r a great club.
"But Edin plans 2 stay @ ManC. I recently spoke with Marotta, but we talked abt other things & we hv not talked abt Dzeko, becos he 1s 2 play in England @ City. I think Edin won't leave City."
However, Dzeko has now again been tipped 2 head 4 the Eastlands exit, with Bayern reportedly ready 2 offer €20 million 4 the former Wolfsburg star, who was prolific during his last spell in the Bundesliga.
Bayern hv already brought in reinforcements since losing the Champions League final 2 Chelsea, with Claudio Pizarro returning 2 the club fr Werder Bremen, while goalkeeper Tom Starke has joined fr Hoffenheim, Dante fr Borussia Monchengladbach & Xherdan Shaqiri fr FC Basel.
