AC Milan target Edin Dzeko has revealed he will be staying at Wolfsburg.

The Bosnian international was Milan's top transfer target this summer as they look to bolster their attacking options following the sale of Kaka to Real Madrid.

Dzeko has attracted the interest of a host of clubs after inspiring Wolfsburg to the Bundesliga title last season with 26 goals in 32 games.

Milan have not hidden their desire to sign Dzeko, but Wolfsburg have remained adamant the player would be staying at the club.

Dzeko held talks with Wolfsburg officials over the weekend and they have informed him he will be going nowhere, much to the dismay of the 23-year-old.

"I am staying at Wolfsburg," Dzeko told Sky Sport 24.

"But I am not happy. I would like to join Milan, but I am tied to a contract and the club have decided not to release me."

Wolfsburg are thought to be offering Dzeko a new improved deal to keep him at the club and it could mean Milan step up their interest in Arsenal ace Emmanuel Adebayor as an alternative to Dzeko.
