However, Dzeko's representitve, Irfan Redzepagic, has insisted that nothing has changed regarding the striker's future, and that he expects him to remain in Germany for at least another seven months.
"The contacts with Milan and Wolfsburg go back to the summer. Therefore its not possible to talk about a transfer as there is no real conditions," he told Calciomercato.it.
"The player has a contract with Wolfsburg and he is busy in the Bundesliga.
"As things stand, I can exclude a January move."
