Dortmund doom mongers can at least console themselves with the fact the club are being proactive in terms of seeking a replacement for the Bayern-bound Gotze. Goal.com understands Manchester City would be willing to accept an offer in the region of £22 million for Edin Dzeko, a striker with significant Bundesliga pedigree, who would be willing to take a pay cut in order to join Klopp's side.
Aside from Dzeko, Malaga starlet Isco, who impressed so much during his debut Champions League campaign, has also been heavily linked with the Champions League semi finalists. Both are accomplished players, but both are poor imitations of the real thing.
