Galliani patiently waits for Dzeko
Monday 29 June, 2009

Milan Vice-President Adriano Galliani is determined to sign Wolfsburg striker Edin Dzeko even if he has to wait for him.

The 23-year-old Bosnia international is Milan's No 1 transfer target this summer.

A formal offer has been sent to Wolfsburg, but the German champions have no intention of selling their star player.

“The attacker has spoken very clearly. He wants to come to Milan and Wolfsburg know this very well also through an official letter saying that we are interested in acquiring him,” Galliani told La Gazzetta dello Sport.

“Edin has a contract until 2011 and it's up to Wolfsburg to decide whether to sell him or not. They continue to say that they won't do it, but I will wait before going down alternative routes.

“In the market, patience has a value. From today, I will wait another 48 hours. Only from Thursday will I eventually take into consideration other hypotheses.

“We know that it's difficult to deal with a player who strongly wants to go away, but we are not a club that steals other people's players.

“It doesn't depend on the amount. The 'no' of Wolfsburg has up until now always been a principal,” he concluded.
