Wolfsburg's captain and star striker Edin Dzeko seems to have finally had it with the German team. The player is reported to be having some sort of a rift in the dressing room and with the team manager Steve McClaren.
In the team's last game, Dzeko was spotted to walk straight on past McClaren after being substituted. This was despite the fact that the manager had his hands outstretched to shake the player's hand. The player then went on to avoid sitting on the bench all together and decided to head in for an early shower instead.
This recent act by the player seems to have caused a serious of questions being raised about his future at the club. The player has been in the past linked with numerous teams including Manchester City and Real Madrid and it seems like the time for him to make the jump is now closer than ever.
Steven McClaren, on the other hand, seems determined to try and resolve whatever problem it is that Dzeko is having, in the hopes of trying to retain the player for as long as possible. The manager is reported to have said, ‘It’s something we’ll resolve internally, and quickly because we are turning to the next task. I can understand it (Dzeko’s outburst). Football is a sport where there are lots of emotions and you have to manage them.’
The twenty four year old striker has gone on to indicate that he will not be leaving the club this winter, however it seems like if he grows in frustration any further, he might just have to go back on his words. The player still does have his thirty three million pound buy out clause intact in his account and if a team is to pay that much, then he is sure to not turn down the opportunity to move elsewhere.
According to most experts, the reason for the player growing so hostile at the club is down to the fact that he has been trying to single-handedly get results for the team, while everyone else has just started to rely on him, rather than do anything themselves and when he fails to deliver, he is labelled as failure by the club fans and that is something which can really get to the players.
As a result, it seems like no matter what the manager does to try and resolve the problem, he is sure to lose the striker either in January or in the summers.
