Dzeko Returns to Serie A: Fiorentina Secures Veteran Striker After Turkish Stint
Dzeko’s Italian Homecoming
Smell that? That’s the scent of nostalgia mixed with fresh printer ink on contract paper. As confirmed by Gianluca Di Marzio’s helicopter shots (the man never sleeps), Edin Dzeko touched down at Rome’s Villa Stuart clinic today for his Fiorentina medical. At 38, most strikers would be eyeing punditry roles - not our Bosnian diamond.
The Deal Breakdown
- 1+1 year contract (classical ‘prove it’ deal)
- Reported €2.5m annual salary
- Medical includes cardiology tests (standard for over-35s in Italy)
Why This Makes Sense
Having watched Dzeko since his Wolfsburg days, I can confirm: age hasn’t dulled his spatial awareness. Last season’s 20 goals for Fenerbahçe prove he’s still got that uncanny ability to materialize in the six-yard box like a Balkan ghost.
For Fiorentina:
- Mentor for Beltran (their young Argentine striker)
- Europa Conference League experience
- Immediate aerial threat (6’3” doesn’t retire)
The purple side of Florence just got more interesting. Now if they could only sort out those Vlahovic-sized what-ifs…
Tactical Fit
Dzeko won’t replicate his 29-goal Roma season, but as a false nine? Chef’s kiss. His link-up play could unlock:
- Nico Gonzalez’s diagonal runs
- Sottil’s crosses (when healthy)
- Bonaventura late arrivals
My prediction? 12 league goals and one iconic backheel assist against Juventus. You heard it here first.

Dzeko - ‘Bóng Ma Balkan’ Tái Xuất
38 tuổi vẫn đá như trai tráng, Dzeko chứng minh tuổi tác chỉ là con số! Từ thời Wolfsburg đến giờ, anh vẫn là cơn ác mộng của các hậu vệ với khả năng ‘hiện hình’ trong vòng cấm siêu đẳng.
Hợp Đồng ‘Già Nhưng Chất’
- Lương 2.5 triệu euro/năm: Đắt nhưng xắt ra miếng!
- Kiểm tra tim mạch kỹ càng (các cụ trên 35 tuổi ở Ý mà :v)
Fiorentina khôn lắm khi chọn được người vừa ghi bàn, vừa dạy dỗ Beltran. Chỉ sợ Dzeko chơi hay quá lại khiến fan nhớ Vlahovic đến phát điên thôi!
Ai cá độ vào 12 bàn + 1 đường kiến tạo huyền thoại cho Bonaventura nào?
Le retour du fantôme bosnien
À 38 ans, Dzeko signe à la Fiorentina comme si c’était une routine. La Serie A, c’est un peu sa maison de vacances !
Analyse express
- Salaire : 2.5M€ (soit environ 10 000 pâtes carbonara par mois)
- Rôle : Mentor le jour, fantôme dans la surface le soir
Prédiction : il marquera contre la Juve avec… une talonnade. Parce que la classe, ça ne s’achète pas.
Et vous, vous parieriez sur combien de buts cette saison ?

By forcing players like Haaland to play as creators or midfielders to defend, Guardiola isn't just tinkering – he's engineering empathy through data-driven role reversal. Learn how these drills create smarter teammates who anticipate each other's needs, with insights from basketball's similar 'positionless' trends.
