Edin Dzeko Makes Switch to Schalke 04

Veteran Striker Seals Move Until Season’s End

Edin Dzeko, aged 39, has officially signed with Schalke 04, the frontrunners in Bundesliga 2, on a contract that extends through the remainder of the season.

Departure from Fiorentina

To facilitate this transfer, the Bosnian forward ended his contract with Fiorentina. Reports indicate that he could earn substantial bonuses contingent on Schalke’s promotion to the top tier.

Struggles in Serie A

Dzeko made his return to Serie A with Fiorentina at the beginning of the current season, having previously spent two successful years and netting 46 goals at Fenerbahçe. However, his time at Fiorentina has not been fruitful, as he has failed to score in the league and managed only two goals in the Conference League.

Past Achievements

The striker was the leading goal scorer in Serie A for the 2016-2017 season, tallying an impressive 29 goals while playing for Roma.

Options Explored

While Paris FC showed interest in acquiring him, Dzeko ultimately opted for Schalke 04, a prestigious German club that is well-positioned for a return to Bundesliga.
