We are in a similar situation to Mario, soon in to the final two years of his contract and very dangerous territory.
Dzeko is a depreciating asset for us, even if he stays and scores 40 goals next season.
All that would do is increase his own bargaining position with other clubs, as his fee would be even more reduced with 12 months remaining.
Mario had no intention of signing a new deal, Dzeko, likewise.
I will always be thankful for his goals at crucial times and would wish him well wherever he ends up, but if we can get £20m, we will have done brilliant business.
I thought you felt we should keep Dzeko? Not having a go at you. Just wondering if you've changed your mind from a couple weeks back.tolmie's hairdoo said:Whatever the merits of Dzeko as a player, he MUST be sold this summer.

But nobody want to Dzeko. Dortmund not need, Juventus not need...and so who ?

Will it he Dortmund or Juventus where he ends up? If Dortmund keep Lewandowski we are stuck really. I hoped he'd go to Naples but if he's put the halt to that we are further stuck.
Not a clue how this will end up.

Don't be surprised if AC or Arsenal follow-up previous interest.

Don't recall having that stance, as don't think Dzeko has ever been right for us?
I did say the other week I would rather bin the Cavani interest and sign both Isco and Thiago, swapping Dzeko for Lewandowski in the process.
Dzeko's price will drop £10m in the next 12 months, regardless of how many goals he scored for us.
Sure, we could offer him a new deal, but we would have to make him one of the highest earners at the club.
With the cream of Europe scenting another cut-price deal and being able to offer him commensurate wages as a result.

We wouldn't have a say in it. He would have 12 months left on his contract and can take his pick.

Surprisingly I'd expect both of the team's you mentioned direct rivals to be more likely. Inter registered interest in Jan and Spurs are desperate for a striker.
Ac Milan I can see but Arsenal will get Higuain most likely and them they need a CB and Holding mid.
I just hope Bayern manage to get Lewandowski (he's not world class and it helps slow them down and also bvb need a striker) then Bvb come cap in hand for Dzeko.
I'd have thought Napoli would be perfect move for him, can't believe he's not interested.
