Soccer-Milan target Dzeko says Wolfsburg won't sell
MILAN, June 28 (Reuters) - German champions VfL Wolfsburg are refusing to sell Edin Dzeko to AC Milan, the Bosnian striker said on Sunday.
"Wolfsburg won't let me go. Everyone knows that Milan are the team of my dreams but I can not do anything," the 23-year-old told Italy's Sky television.
Milan chief executive Adriano Galliani, looking for a new attacker after selling playmaker Kaka to Real Madrid, is not giving up despite Wolfsburg's stance.
"We will wait until the end of next week," he told reporters. "We will see what happens. Otherwise we will alter our objectives."
Galliani had previously said Arsenal forward Emmanuel Adebayor and Sevilla's Luis Fabiano were possible targets if Dzeko was not for sale.
The Rossoneri chief also reiterated that striker Alexandre Pato will not be leaving the San Siro despite media reports saying former Milan coach Carlo Ancelotti had bid 60 million euros ($84.3 million) to take the Brazilian to new club Chelsea.
"We had already received a previous offer higher than that and we said no," he said.
There was no progress on sealing a loan deal for Porto left back Aly Cissokho after a permanent move collapsed when the Frenchman failed a medical, Galliani added. (Reporting by Mark Meadows; Editing by Ed Osmond; To query or comment on this story email sportsfeedback@thomsonreuters.com)
