(GSM) – VfL Wolfsburg striker Edin Dzeko could don a red and black striped jersey next year, as the player’s agent has claimed that AC Milan are interested in bringing the 23-year-old forward to San Siro.

The Bosnia and Herzegovina international is one of Europe’s most sought after striker following a successful spell with the German champions since moving from FK Teplice in 2007.

Dzeko will line up for Wolfsburg against Manchester United in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday, having scored at Old Trafford the last time the two sides met, and speculation has also mounted regarding a move to the Red Devils.

United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has played down reports linking the forward to the club, although assistant Mike Phelan has recently hinted that the Premier League champions are interested in the player.

However, Dzeko’s agent Irfan Redzepagic has revealed that Wolfsburg have been in contact with Milan since the summer, although he does not expect any deal to be done in the January transfer window.

“The contacts with Milan and Wolfsburg go back to the summer, but there are no conditions for a transfer,” he said in the Daily Telegraph.

“The player has a contract with Wolfsburg and he is busy in the Bundesliga. As things stand, I can exclude a January move.”

Manchester United go into the game on Tuesday knowing that a draw will be enough for them to top Group B, while Wolfsburg are still not assured of a place in the knockout stages.
