He told me today, but his agent already told me some days before. Everything was correct, so I can just wish all the best for him in the future.''We have been told by his agent that he is looking to move clubs, and we have to accept this,' said Hamburg chairman Bernd Hoffman. 'Talks about a new contract with us have stalled in recent months, unfortunately, so there is not much we can do.' Manchester City set to seal deal for Hamburg defender BoatengArsenal join Man City in £10m summer pursuit for Ajax ace Van der WielChelsea and Man City warned Dzeko won't leave for less than £35mMANCHESTER CITY FC
