Fiorentina, here is Edin Dzeko. The goals and charity, all about the Swan of Sarajevo

Florence, 16 June 2025 - The goal was to bring in a reliable striker, and then understand what will happen on the Kean front. Daniele Pradè kept his word and within a few days he got his hands on Edin Dzeko. In the afternoon the contacts of the last few days became definitive. The Bosnian striker arrives in Viola as a free agent after two very positive years played with the jersey of Fenerbahce in Turkey. One-year contract, plus the option for a further season that will automatically start upon reaching certain personal goals.

He shares with Cristiano Ronaldo and Aubameyang the record of having scored at least 50 goals in three of the five major European leagues.

He arrives as Kean's deputy, or at least to alternate with Moise in the lily attack. The course of the summer will then reveal the definitive hierarchies also in relation to the famous termination clause in Kean's contract. But in the meantime Fiorentina he put an important piece up front.
