Schalke beat Paris FC for Edin Dzeko signing | OneFootball

Edin Dzeko is set to return to Germany, with Schalke 04 winning the race for the veteran striker’s signature ahead of competition from Paris FC.

According to Gianluca Di Marzio, the Bosnian forward is prepared to sign a six-month contract with the 2. Bundesliga leaders. The allure of a return to the country where he once dominated with Wolfsburg proved to be the deciding factor, ultimately swaying his decision in favor of the Gelsenkirchen club.

Dzeko’s stint with Fiorentina comes to an abrupt end just six months after his arrival in Tuscany. The 39-year-old is scheduled to leave Florence today to travel to Germany, where he will undergo medical examinations with Schalke later this afternoon before officializing the move.

The veteran’s departure marks a swift conclusion to his time in Serie A, as he looks to provide the final push for Schalke’s promotion back to the top flight.
