Former Manchester City striker Edin Dzeko has officially signed a contract with Fiorentina, ensuring the Bosnian captain will continue his football journey into his 40s. The 39-year-old’s deal extends until June 2026, with an automatic one-year renewal clause if certain conditions are met.

Dzeko, who recently played for Fenerbahce, showcased his enduring talent by scoring 21 goals in 53 games last season before departing the Turkish club in May. His career highlights include a prolific five-year stint at Manchester City, where he netted 72 goals in 189 appearances, securing two Premier League titles, an FA Cup, a League Cup, and a Community Shield.

After leaving City, Dzeko enjoyed successful spells at Roma and Inter Milan, further cementing his reputation as one of Europe’s most consistent strikers. His move to Fiorentina comes as the club aims to build on their sixth-place finish in Serie A last season, which earned them a spot in the UEFA Conference League qualifiers.

Dzeko’s experience and goal-scoring prowess will be invaluable to Fiorentina as they look to compete on both domestic and European fronts. His leadership as the captain of Bosnia-Herzegovina, where he holds the record for most goals (68 in 141 games), adds a layer of international pedigree to the squad.

This transfer not only highlights Dzeko’s remarkable longevity but also underscores Fiorentina’s ambition to strengthen their attacking options with a proven veteran. Football fans worldwide will be eager to see how this legendary striker performs in the twilight of his career.
