ゼコを巡るユーベとシティの綱引き

Italian Media Claims Wolfsburg Striker Edin Dzeko Sends Juventus Come And Get Me Plea As English Reports Suggest Manchester City Deal Is Done(Goal.com)

Juventus' interest in Edin Dzeko won't be eroded by Manchester City's millions as the 24-year-old Wolfsburg striker would prefer a Serie A move.

City have been in talks with the player's entourage, but negotiations struggled to yield a result after reports suggested the German club's €40 million asking price paused talks.

Headlines in the United Kingdom on Monday claimed City had agreed a cut-price deal for Dzeko worth around €27m, but they face further complications as the player would prefer to sign for Juventus.

Tuttosport says the Italians will not give up on Dzeko after the player's agent Irfan Radzepagic told his client there was an offer on the table.

And, after being informed by the agent, Dzeko took the matter further by sending Juventus a text message: "If you want me make an offer," he reportedly said.

It seems there is a divide between buying power and the player's will, meaning a Juventus move depends on whether they can match City's bid.

Raising cash in Turin to force a Dzeko deal depends on Amauri leaving the club. The 30-year-old Brazilian-born Italy international has been tipped to move out, but he won't budge, reportedly also using a text to inform his club: "I will not move from Turin."

One further spoke in the wheels for Juventus could come from a report in the Daily Mail, which suggests that Bayern Munich are willing to offer €35 million for Dzeko.

Meanwhile, La Gazzetta dello Sport claims the Old Lady are looking at potential alternatives in Lazio's Sergio Floccari, Fiorentina's Alberto Gilardino and Genoa hitman Luca Toni.

Tuttomercatoweb.com reports Sampdoria's Giampaolo Pazzini is also among the favourites to join.

ヴォルフスブルクのエディン・ゼコを巡る交渉だが、マンチェスター・シティの札束攻勢にもゼコのユベントスに行きたいという意思を変えることができなかったようだ。

といっても、イングランドのメディアはゼコがシティとサインしたと言い張っているようなのだけどね。

ユベントスのジュゼッペ・マロッタはジエゴの移籍などでヴォルフスブルクに貸しを作り、ゼコ獲得の布石を作ってきており、クラシッチの獲得で流れた夏の移籍から半年だった今、ストライカー獲得のために動いている。

この冬なのか、夏なのかはまだ不明だが、ユベントスがゼコ獲得に向けて一歩リードしているのはたしかだ。

しかし、高騰する移籍金のためにユベントスはアマウリを差し出すしかなく、アマウリ本人は移籍を容認しないという話をしていることからここで拗れる可能性はある。

ユベントスはラツィオのフロカッリ、フィオレンティーナのジラルディーノ、ジェノアのトニ、サンプドリアのパッツィーニを予備の候補としてリストアップしているという。

いったいどうなることだろうね。
