Edin Dzeko Returns to Serie A: Fiorentina Secures Veteran Striker After Turkish Stint
Dzeko’s Italian Homecoming
Fiorentina fans received exciting news today as transfer guru Gianluca Di Marzio confirmed Edin Dzeko has landed in Italy to undergo medical examinations at Villa Stuart hospital. The 37-year-old striker appears poised to sign a 1+1 year contract, marking his return to Serie A after a productive stint with Inter Milan before his Turkish adventure.
The Numbers Behind the Move
Let’s crunch some stats:
- 23 goals in 2 Super Lig seasons (aged 35-37)
- 0.48 goals per 90 minutes last season - still elite efficiency
- 6’4” frame provides aerial dominance Fiorentina currently lacks
As someone who’s analyzed Serie A for a decade, I find this particularly intriguing. While many wrote off Dzeko after his Roma departure, his Istanbul performances proved he’s no museum piece.
Tactical Fit in Italiano’s System
Vincenzo Italiano prefers fluid attacking football - quite different from Dzeko’s last Serie A role as Lukaku’s foil. However:
- His hold-up play creates space for Nico González’s runs
- Target man ability offers Plan B against low blocks
- Mentorship for young guns like Beltran
The contract structure (reportedly heavy on performance bonuses) shows smart business from a club that burned money on Jović.
Final Thought
This isn’t 2017 Dzeko, but as a short-term solution with Europa League pedigree? For free? That’s the sort of low-risk, high-reward move that keeps mid-table clubs competitive. Now if they could just find him some decent crossers…

The Benjamin Button of Football
At 37, Dzeko isn’t just returning to Serie A - he’s reverse-aging like fine Italian wine! Those Istanbul goals prove he’s still got more spring than my grandma’s sofa.
Tactical Vintage
Fiorentina getting a free transfer with Europa League experience? That’s smarter than my last Fantasy Football pick. Just don’t ask who’ll cross to that 6’4” frame - we all saw what happened with Jović…
Hot take: If he scores against Inter, do we call it “Dzeko’s Revenge” or “Lukaku’s Regret”? Discuss.
৩৭ বছরেও থামেনি এই গোল মেশিন!
ফিওরেন্টিনা ভক্তরা খুশি হোন! ডিজেকো আবারো সেরি এ তে ফিরে এসেছেন। এই বয়সেও তার গোল করার ক্ষমতা দেখে মনে হচ্ছে সে কোনো “বয়স্কদের হোম” এর কথা শুনেনি!
লুকাকুকে ছাড়াই ভালো
ইন্টার মিলানে লুকাকুর সাথে খেলে সময় নষ্ট করেছিলেন। এখন নিজের দক্ষতা দেখানোর সুযোগ পাবেন। ৬’৪” উচ্চতা দিয়ে এখনো এয়ারিয়াল ডুয়েল জিতবেন!
বুদ্ধিমানের স্বাক্ষর
ফ্রি ট্রান্সফার আর পারফরমেন্স বোনাস নির্ভর চুক্তি - ফিওরেন্টিনা সত্যিই স্মার্ট কাজ করেছে। জোভিচের ব্যর্থতা থেকে শিক্ষা নিয়েছে দেখছি!
কী মনে হয়? এই “বুড়ো” স্ট্রাইকার এবার কয়টা গোল করবেন? নিচে কমেন্টে অনুমান করুন!
O Homem que Desafiou o Tempo
Aos 37 anos, Dzeko volta à Serie A como um vampiro futebolístico - quanto mais velho, mais perigoso! Depois de marcar 23 gols na Turquia, o gigante bósnio prova que ainda tem lenha pra queimar.
Estatísticas não mentem (mas envelhecem mal)
0.48 gols por 90 minutos? Isso é mais eficiente que eu tentando flertar no Carnaval! E olha que ele joga desde a época em que o Neymar ainda usava fralda…
Fiorentina acerta no ‘contrato de pai de santo’
1+1 ano com bônus por performance? Melhor negócio desde o pão de queijo com café! Agora é torcer para os cruzamentos chegarem - senão vai ser igual minha ex: muita altura e pouca entrega!
E aí, véio? Acha que o Dzeko ainda tem gás pra assombrar as defesas italianas? Comenta aí!
Dzeko: The Benjamin Button of Serie A
At 37, Edin Dzeko isn’t just returning to Italy - he’s reverse-aging! After proving in Turkey that he’s still got it (23 goals post-35?), Fiorentina just bagged football’s best vintage deal.
Why this works:
- Free transfer = Zero risk
- That 6’4” frame never gets old (literally)
- Mentoring Beltran? More like teaching kids how to outlast Lukaku’s career!
Only question - can Viola find someone who can actually cross to their new museum piece? cough Still better than Jović cough
Serie A fans, over/under 12 goals this season?
Like a fine Bosnian wine, Dzeko just keeps getting better with age!
At 37, most strikers are coaching U12 teams or opening restaurants. But here’s our man Edin, still outscoring defenders half his age. That 0.48 goals per 90 minutes stat? More like 0.48 reasons to question your life choices, young center-backs!
Fiorentina getting him for free is the ultimate ‘grandpa still got it’ flex. Now if only they’d signed some wingers who can actually cross…(looking at you, Nico González).
Serie A defenders: how do you plan to sleep tonight?
The Benjamin Button of Football
At 37, Dzeko isn’t just returning to Serie A - he’s defying Father Time like a Bosnian vampire who subsists on goals instead of blood. Fiorentina getting a striker who still scores 0.48 goals per 90 minutes? That’s like finding a functioning fax machine in 2023 - rare, slightly outdated, but somehow still gets the job done!
Tactical Swiss Army Knife
From being Lukaku’s wingman to mentoring Beltran, Dzeko’s career has more phases than a SpaceX rocket. His 6’4” frame will finally give Fiorentina fans something to cheer about during corners (provided someone can actually deliver a decent cross).
Drop your predictions - how many headed goals before Viola fans start calling him ‘Dzeko Air’?
Dzeko masih panas di usia 37!
Fiorentina dapat deal gempa nih! Dzeko balik ke Serie A dengan statistik mengesankan: 23 gol dalam 2 musim di Turki. Padahal usianya sudah kepala 3, tapi masih bisa bikin bek-bek muda pusing tujuh keliling!
Kontrak 1+1 tahun? Pintar!
Fiorentina belajar dari pengalaman buruk Jović. Kontrak berbasis performa ini kayak beli bakso pakai sistem ‘kalau enak baru bayar’ - aman dan menguntungkan!
Mana nih anak-anak muda?
Beltran dkk bisa banyak belajar dari striker veteran ini. Dzeko itu ibarat buku panduan serangan udara berjalan - tinggal diberi umpan silang, gol pun datang!
Komeng-komeng lo gimana? Masih percaya sama pemain sepuh?
বয়স শুধু একটা সংখ্যা!
৩৭ বছর বয়সেও ডিজেকো সেরি এ-তে ফিরছে! মনে হচ্ছে এই ভদ্রলোকের ব্যাটারি কখনো ডিসচার্জ হয় না। তুরস্কে ২৩ গোল দিয়ে এখন ফিওরেন্তিনার জার্সি গায়ে চাপাবে - কি বলবেন?
পরিসংখ্যানের খেলা
লাস্ট সিজনে প্রতি ৯০ মিনিটে ০.৪৮ গোল! এই বয়সে এই পারফরম্যান্স দেখে তো আমাদের দেশের পোলাও-বিরিয়ানি খাওয়া স্ট্রাইকারদের লজ্জা পাওয়া উচিত।
ইন্টারেকটিভ প্রশ্ন: আপনাদের কী মনে হয়, ডিজেকো এবারও কি প্রমাণ করতে পারবে যে বয়স শুধু একটা সংখ্যা? নিচে কমেন্ট করুন!
Dzeko Balik Lagi!
Fiorentina baru saja dapat ‘kakek-kakek’ yang masih jago nendang bola! Edin Dzeko, 37 tahun, kembali ke Serie A setelah petualangannya di Turki. Dengan statistik 23 gol dalam 2 musim, dia membuktikan usia hanya angka!
Masih Tajam Kayak Silet
0.48 gol per 90 menit? Wah, pemain muda aja bisa malu! Tinggi 6’4”, jadi target man sempurna buat Fiorentina. Kontrak 1+1 tahun? Cerdas banget, biar nggak kayak kasus Jović yang bikin pusing.
Komen Kalian?
Menurut lo, Dzeko masih bisa ngibulin bek-bek Serie A? Atau udah waktunya pensiun main catur? Share pendapatmu di bawah!
