# Manchester City: Sky Blues buzz as Edin Dzeko could be offered ‘executive role’

**According to an update in the paper edition of Il Tempo, via [Sport Witness](https://sportwitness.co.uk/suggestion-player-eventually-offered-executive-role-man-city-completes-january-transfer/), Man City are the ‘[only team](https://sportwitness.co.uk/suggestion-player-eventually-offered-executive-role-man-city-completes-january-transfer/)‘ moving towards something concrete over a potential homecoming for ex-Sky Blues striker Edin Dzeko – and they also believe the Bosnian could be offered an ‘executive role’ in future if he completes a return to the Etihad Stadium.**

Dzeko was sold by Manuel Pellegrini at the end of the 2014/2015 season to AS Roma, and City arguably haven’t signed a replacement with his aerial presence or physicality up front since.

Wilfried Bony was snapped up in the summer of 2015 as a replacement for the 34-year-old, but his spell at Eastlands was one to forget, with sporting director Txiki Begiristain now eyeing a chance to bring Dzeko back to Manchester.

He is currently at the centre of a fall-out with Roma boss Paulo Fonseca ([Goal](https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/dzeko-set-to-leave-roma-falling-out-with-manager/1973t2csj0uu618mp7l10v9vjq)), and this report claims the Sky Blues are the only team [‘moving towards something concrete](https://sportwitness.co.uk/suggestion-player-eventually-offered-executive-role-man-city-completes-january-transfer/)‘ in terms of interest.

City would apparently ‘[take him back to fix a rebuilding attack](https://sportwitness.co.uk/suggestion-player-eventually-offered-executive-role-man-city-completes-january-transfer/)‘ and could perhaps offer him a ‘[future as an executive](https://sportwitness.co.uk/suggestion-player-eventually-offered-executive-role-man-city-completes-january-transfer/)‘.

Flocking to this huge claim, it’s safe to say plenty of Citizens were absolutely buzzing – find all of their best verdicts here.
