Dzeko will not leave Manchester City for Serie A side Roma this summer,
according to his agent Irfan Redzepagic.
The
Bosnia and Herzegovina striker has been in link with Arsenal and Roma for a
summer move but the recent reports have confirmed that the striker is set to
stay at Etihad Stadium.
Dzeko’s
interntional teammate Miralem Pjanic said few days ago that his friend will be joining
Roma as City eye their playmaker Adem Ljajic.
However,
the recent comments from Irfan Redzepagic has claimed that here is no link with
the Serie A giants.
Redzepagic
told Italian radio station Rete Sport.: “I was frankly surprised by Pjanic's
comments, unless he knows something that I don't.”
He
further cleared it by saying: “I have had no contact with Roma, nor am I
aware of any talks between the two clubs.”
City
do not need money in order to sign new players and Dzeko has no plans to leave
despite of a struggling last season at Etihad Stadium.
The
29-year-old scored six goals in only 12 starts in Premier League last season.
City
signed Dzeko from Wolfsburg in 2011. The player has still three year left on
his contract.
Meanwhile,
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is also keeping tabs on his situation as he is
eyeing to sign a striker this summer. Reports have linked him with Dzeko in the
past few weeks.
Few weeks ago, it was reported that Arsenal are set to launch a 15 million pounds bid.
