Bosnia striker looking to move onto bigger club after Euro failure
Wolfsburg striker Edin Dzeko has revealed he may leave the German club at the end of the season.
The Bosnia international rose to prominence last season, helping Wolfsburg claim their first-ever Bundesliga title by firing 26 goals in 32 league games.
That put the club into this season's Champions League and after falling at the group stage, they went on to reach the Europa League quarter-finals, where they lost to eventual finalists Fulham.
However, Dzeko, who joined Wolfsburg in 2007, feels it may be time to move onto bigger things.
Although the 24-year-old has claimed another 20 league goals this season, the club's European exploits have hindered their Bundesliga form and they have missed out on securing European qualification for next term.
"That's very disappointing," Dzeko told the
Wolfsburger Allgemeine newspaper.
"We were champions, then played in the Champions League and Europa League, and now nothing next season.
Angry
"My goal was always to play for a big club. I hope no-one will be angry with me in Wolfsburg because of that."
Dzeko has scored 10 goals in the last eight league games as Wolfsburg have battled to keep alive their Europa League hopes.
But successive defeats by Werder Bremen and Freiburg have left them 10 points adrift of fifth-placed Borussia Dortmund with two games remaining.
"I didn't want to think about a transfer in the past few months because that would have been unprofessional," he added.
"If I go, I will miss a lot of things. It wouldn't be easy, and if it happens, it will only be because it's better for my football future."
