​Edin Dzeko will stay at Manchester City and snub any interest from abroad, says his agent Irfan Redzepagic.

Dzeko found himself struggling to get into the City side last season and scored just six goals in his 31 appearances for the club.

Juventus and Atletico Madrid were both thought to be keen on signing the 29-year-old, who cost £27m from Wolfsburg in January 2011.

But Dzeko's representative Redzepagic insisted there had been no approaches for his client and he fully expects him to honour his current contract at the Etihad Stadium, which has three years left to run.

Manchester City chairman, Khaldoon Al Mubarak, claims there will be big changes at the club this summer

"When you read the media reports, it looks like all clubs want Dzeko. I've also heard some of Bosnian League teams are after him," Redzepagic quipped to Bosnian newspaper Nezavisne, 

"Every day he is linked to some other club: first it was Atletico Madrid, then Juventus, now Roma, Chelsea...these are all just rumours that go on during every transfer window. I am bored of repeating that those stories are not true.

"He hasn't rejected any offers because there were no offers! And that is the whole truth. Edin has a contract with Man City until 2018 and is happy at the club.

"Many things influenced his performances last season, like the two injuries he had. But he has no reason to be unhappy at the club he won four trophies with. So the chances of him leaving are none."
