Bombshell in the 2. Bundesliga! FC Schalke 04 has shaken up the winter transfer market with the signing of Edin Džeko.
The veteran Bosnian striker, 39 years old, arrives from AC Fiorentina to lead the Miners’ attack during the final 16 matches of the 2025/2026 season.
Džeko, who will wear the number 10 shirt, returns to Germany where he was already a champion and top scorer with Wolfsburg.
According to Youri Mulder, the club’s sporting director, the striker showed immediate enthusiasm for the project, bringing the necessary leadership to a team looking to consolidate its growth in the second half of the season.

I’m eager to play in front of a full VELTINS-Arena,” said the striker, who has already spoken with coach Miron Muslic and his compatriot Nikola Katic.
With an enviable career at clubs like Manchester City, Inter, and Roma, the "Bosnian Diamond” is now seeking one last successful dance in Gelsenkirchen. His arrival not only brings goals, but also vital leadership to the dressing room in the decisive stretch of the championship.
