Edin Dzeko has declared that he is staying at Wolfsburg against his own wishes.

The Bosnian international who has a contract with the Bundesliga champions until 2013 has been targeted by AC Milan throughout the off-season.

However, a deal has failed to materialise with Wolfsburg's new boss, Armin Veh, determined to keep the star striker.

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

"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."

The 23-year-old forward scored 26 goals in 32 appearances last season to lead Wolfsburg to their first-ever Bundesliga title and has been one of the most sought-after players this summer.
