German side Wolfsburg said Dzeko was not for sale but Milan are not willing to give up their pursuit of the Bosnian striker.

"We are still hopeful of getting him," Galliani was quoted as saying by Italian media.

"The man himself should have a say about his future.

"It is difficult to keep a player who is unhappy, that is a rule which applies to everybody and is the law of the market."

Dzeko attracted a host of suitors after producing impressive displays this season to help Wolfsburg claim the Bundesliga title for the first time in their history.

He scored 26 goals and formed a potent partnership with Brazilian striker Grafite to break down the toughest of defenses.
