Edin Dzeko Arrives in Florence Ahead of Fiorentina Signing

Edin Dzeko is back in Italy and will soon join Fiorentina. This return to Serie A comes after his time at Fenerbahçe in Turkey. The 39-year-old striker is expected to sign a one-year deal. There is a chance to extend the contract until June 2027 if he meets certain performance goals.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Dzeko will likely sign with Fiorentina on Thursday. He is joining for free after leaving Fenerbahçe, where he was still scoring goals. Fiorentina stated the deal is for one year, with a yearly salary of about €2 million. If Dzeko plays enough games, his contract could automatically renew for another year. Earlier in his career, Dzeko was successful with Roma and Inter Milan and became known as a top forward in Europe.

WHY DZEKO IS A BIG DEAL FOR FIORENTINA

Dzeko offers experience, leadership, and goal-scoring skills to Fiorentina, who are improving in Serie A. They finished seventh last season, just managing to qualify for European competitions. Their problem was scoring goals in key games due to the lack of a dependable forward. With ten league goals last season at Fenerbahçe, Dzeko is expected to lead the team and help younger players. His addition shows Fiorentina’s ambition to do well in Serie A and Europe.

WHAT’S NEXT FOR FIORENTINA AND DZEKO?

Fiorentina will soon start pre-season matches, giving Dzeko time to settle in. The Serie A season resumes in August, and Fiorentina hope Dzeko can make a difference in tight games. They have a tough start, including a match against Lazio, who are just above them in the league. Dzeko’s leadership and ability to score could help Fiorentina aim for a better league position and do well in European matches. Fans are eager for the club to officially introduce their new player.
