Wolfsburg Deny The Transfers Of Key Players This Summer

Bosn­ian Pair Dzeko And Mis­i­movic Will Spend Next Sea­son With Die Wolfe.

Wolfs­burg have announced their inten­tions of hold­ing onto Bosn­ian duo Edin Dzeko and Zve­jz­dan Mis­i­movic this sum­mer. The pair have coem under intense trans­fer spec­u­la­tion all sum­mer, and it was thought that deals had been agreed for the pair to com­plete mega-money moves out of Germany.

The club’s man­ag­ing direc­tor, Dieter Hoe­ness, has declared that the Bosn­ian pair who have been cen­tral to suc­cess for Die Wolfe will not be mov­ing on this summer.

“We have decided to end the recur­ring spec­u­la­tion: both Edin Dzeko and Zvjez­dan Mis­i­movic will be stay­ing at Wolfs­burg, no mat­ter what offers come in for them. We did not want this spec­u­la­tion to become end­less as we move closer to the start of the sea­son. It made no sense to con­tinue going around in cir­cles. Now every­body can con­cen­trate on the new sea­son. Fur­ther­more, both play­ers have clear con­tracts which don’t leave any room for mis­in­ter­pre­ta­tion. There was not a sin­gle offer for either of them any­way so this dis­cus­sion was only virtual.”

Steve McClaren has been ring­ing in the changes with Die Wolfe this sum­mer, but declared in his first ever press con­fer­ence with Wolfs­burg that he would ‘fight tooth and nail’ to keep Dzeko at the club this sum­mer. So far so good for McClaren, who looks to be mak­ing a promis­ing start to his Bun­desliga career.

Dzeko has made 94 league appear­ances for Wolfs­burg and has banged in 54 goals. Mis­i­movic, who was a Bay­ern Munich player for a very short time, has made 54 league appear­ances with Die Wolfe and has scored 14 goals. Mis­i­movic also acts as the play­maker in the side, and has been instru­men­tal in cre­at­ing the chances that Dzeko so won­der­fully finishes.

If Wolfs­burg do end up hold­ing onto their Bosn­ian duo and con­tinue to add qual­ity to the squad as they have been doing so far this sum­mer, then a push for a Euro­pean spot could be very achiev­able for Die Wolfe this sea­son. Steve McClaren will cer­tainly push for Bun­desliga glory after expe­ri­enc­ing cham­pi­onship suc­cess with FC Twente last season.
