💻 Bigger than Huntelaar and Raúl? Fans react to Džeko’s move to S04 | OneFootball

If any football fan had claimed just a week ago that Edin Džeko would sign with FC Schalke this winter, they probably would have been sent to a psychiatric ward. And rightly so.

But this fever dream of a transfer actually became official on Thursday afternoon! The Royal Blues have pried the Bosnian superstar away from AC Fiorentina and signed him until the end of the season.

Accordingly, the internet—and especially the Schalke bubble—reacted with euphoria. We’ve put together a small selection of the wildest posts for you—including tributes from sporting director Frank Baumann.

Suddenly, the number 10 jersey in Gelsenkirchen has a completely different significance.

This is especially true if Džeko actually fires the Knappen back into the Bundesliga this summer. Some Schalke fans are already dreaming even bigger.

One thing is clear: when it comes to charisma, even at 39, the former world-class striker is second to none.

Despite all the euphoria, Džeko is by no means the first superstar to have led the line for Schalke in the past 15 years. Big names like Raúl or Klaas-Jan Huntelaar preceded this winter’s new arrival.

And of course, the glorious Schalke legacy of Pierre-Michel Lasogga should not go unmentioned here.

In closing, there’s only one thing left for us to say.

What are your emotions about this sensational transfer? Feel free to let us know in the comments!
