Wolfsburg general manager Dieter Hoeness has revealed that he told AC Milan officials that if they wanted to tempt star striker Edin Dzeko to Serie A then they would have to part with €40 million.
Rumours regarding the Bosnian international making a summer move to San Siro have plagued the German champions all season and Hoeness has confirmed he did speak to Milan but it seems the club’s valuation was too high.
"We talked with AC Milan who have shown an interest but they are not willing to pay the amount that we requested and want us to lower our asking price," Hoeness said.
“The amount to pay is clear though, it’s €40 million and will not change. Otherwise, Dzeko will remain with us. I always said that if we have to choose between money and the player, I'd still keep Edin here next year."
With news that clubs Manchester City and Chelsea are now considering a summer swoop for the 24-year-old, Milan look to have finally given up their chase.
