Edin Džeko, the Bosnian striker, is nearing a return to Schalke following the conclusion of negotiations, reports suggest. The 40-year-old is set to sign a contract that will keep him at the Bundesliga club until 2027. Džeko, who previously played for Wolfsburg, Manchester City, Roma, Inter, and Fenerbahçe, expressed his desire to return to Gelsenkirchen after his stint with the Bosnian national team at the World Cup.
Head coach Miron Muslić played a significant role in the discussions, driving the negotiations towards a new deal. Despite receiving multiple offers, including from previous clubs, Džeko chose to stay at Schalke due to the team's project and the opportunity to remain in the Bundesliga. Once he completes his medical, Džeko is anticipated to rejoin Schalke's squad promptly, potentially contributing to the team's pre-season preparations for the upcoming Bundesliga season.
