Manchester City look like landing striker Edin Dzeko

It has been confirmed that Manchester City are in talks with Bundesliga club Wolfsburg with a view to signing want-away forward Edin Dzeko.

The Bosnian striker's agent is currently in negotiation with Manchester City Football Administration officer Brian Marwood.

Dzeko has expressed a desire to leave the struggling German club, currently managed by Steve McLaren, and even sent a letter to a senior executive at Eastlands earlier in the season, expressing his admiration for the club and his gratitude for their efforts to buy him in the August window.

The 24-year old has a phenomenal record for Wolfsburg, scoring 85 times in 138 appearances. Despite his team's struggles this season, he's still managed to find the net 11 times in 18 matches.

Dzeko's buy-out clause is rumoured to be in the region of €35 million, and no team was willing to match that in the last transfer window.
