Manuel Pellegrini admits he is unsure whether Edin Dzeko will remain at Manchester City beyond the end of the summer.
The 29-year-old forward, who has been linked with a move away from the Etihad Stadium, was an unused substitute in City’s pre-season victory over Roma in the International Champions Cup on Tuesday.
Roma are among the clubs reportedly interested in signing Dzeko and City manager Pellegrini revealed the future of the Bosnia and Herzegovina international is uncertain.
“Edin didn’t play the last game as it’s not clear if he will continue here but he is still working here with the whole squad,” Pellegrini said.
Dzeko joined City in 2011 from German side Wolfsburg for £27m and played a pivotal role in the club’s Premier League title winning campaigns during the 2011/12 and 2013/14 seasons.
However, following the £28m arrival of Wilfried Bony from Swansea City in January, Dzeko was restricted to just six starts with the Ivory Coast forward and Sergio Aguero preferred in attack.
