Edin Dzeko Returns to Serie A: Fiorentina Secures Veteran Striker with 1+1 Contract
Edin Dzeko’s Italian Homecoming: A Tactical Analysis
The Medical That Started It All
When Gianluca Di Marzio tweeted that video of Edin Dzeko arriving at Villa Stuart hospital in Rome, it wasn’t just another routine medical - it signaled the return of one of Serie A’s most effective target men. At 37, most strikers would be eyeing retirement, but Dzeko’s physique (measured at 6’4” and still remarkably fit) suggests he’s got plenty left in the tank.
The Contract Details
Fiorentina’s proposed 1+1 year deal is textbook sensible management:
- Base salary reportedly around €2.5m/year
- Second year optional based on performance metrics
- Low-risk structure given his age
The Viola aren’t gambling; they’re investing in proven Serie A quality. His 61 goals in 199 appearances during his Roma days speak volumes.
Why This Makes Sense for Fiorentina
Tactical Flexibility
Manager Vincenzo Italiano gets a complete center-forward who: Health permit, brings aerial dominance (won 58% of duels last season) Can hold up play for their speedy wingers (Nico González will love this) Provides crucial European experience (85 UEFA competition appearances)
Market Realities
In today’s inflated market, getting a Champions League-proven striker without a transfer fee? That’s smart business.
What Could Go Wrong?
Let’s not romanticize this: ⚠️ Age-related decline in mobility is inevitable ⚠️ Turkish Süper Lig intensity ≠ Serie A demands ⚠️ High wages could disrupt dressing room dynamics
But if anyone can defy Father Time, it’s the Bosnian Diamond. His game was never about pace anyway.
Final Thought: This isn’t just nostalgia - it’s a calculated move that could give Fiorentina the edge in tight games. Watch how his presence transforms their set-piece threat alone.

Der Mann, die Legende, der Vertrag: 1+1
Mit 37 nochmal Serie A? Nur Edin Dzeko! Der Bosnische Diamant ist zurück – und Fiorentina hat den Deal des Jahres gemacht: Ein ‘1+1-Vertrag’, also entweder ein Geniestreich… oder eine Pizza mit doppelt Belag, falls nötig! 😂
Warum das funktioniert:
- Seine Kopfballquote gleicht meine Steuererklärung aus (58% gewonnene Duelle!)
- Sein Gehalt? Günstiger als Lukakus Frustration bei Chelsea
Aber hey: Wenn er nach einem Jahr plötzlich Opa-Modus aktiviert, können sie einfach ‘−1’ drücken – typisch Italien, vertrags-technisches Tetris! 🎮
Wer wettet dagegen? #DzekoUnsterblich
เดซโก้ไม่เคยแก่จริงๆ!
37 ปีแล้วนะครับ แต่ดูจากสถิติยังโหดเหมือนวัยรุ่น! ปีที่แล้วยังชนะการดวลตัวต่อตัวถึง 58% นี่ถ้าเป็นคนอื่นคงไปขายส้มตำแล้ว 🤣
สัญญา 1+1 ปี แบบนี้แหละคุ้มสุดๆ ไม่เสี่ยงมาก ได้ประสบการณ์ UEFA กว่า 85 นัด แถมยังช่วยทีมได้ทั้งเกมรุกและเซ็ตเพลย์
แต่ต้องยอมรับว่า…อายุขนาดนี้เล่นเซเรียอาได้ไหวเหรอ? หรือว่ามาจากตุรกีแบบชิลๆ แล้วจะปรับตัวไม่ได้? 😅
เพื่อนๆ คิดว่าเดซโก้จะทำประตูให้ฟีออเรนตีนาได้กี่ลูก? มาแชร์ความเห็นกัน!
Le retour du vétéran
À 37 ans, Dzeko signe à la Fiorentina avec un contrat malin (1+1 an). Le mec défie le temps comme Zlatan défie la gravité !
Pourquoi ça marche ?
- Tête de série A: 61 buts avec Roma
- Un physique de rugbyman (1,93m, 58% de duels gagnés)
- Gratuit, comme un croissant à la boulangerie à 19h
Seul risque ? Son âge… mais son jeu n’a jamais reposé sur la vitesse. Prêt à faire trembler les défenses italiennes comme en 2017 !
Et vous, vous pariez sur combien de buts cette saison ? 😉
O Retorno do Rei (Quase) Aposentado
Dzeko voltando à Serie A com 37 anos? Esse homem tem um pacto com o diabo do futebol! Enquanto outros jogadores nessa idade já estão treinando para virar comentaristas, o bósnio ainda está marcando gols como se fosse 2010.
Contrato de Ouro (Ou de Aposentadoria?)
Fiorentina acertou em cheio com esse 1+1: se ele jogar bem, renovam; se não, viram “obrigado pelo serviço”. Genial! E pensar que alguns clubes ainda pagam fortunas em promessas…

E aí, torcedores da Viola? Já estão prontos para o show do “Avô Gol”? #DzekoEterno
Dzeko: O Eterno Jogador!
Aos 37 anos, Edin Dzeko prova que idade é só número! A Fiorentina acertou em cheio com esse contrato 1+1.
Vantagens? Ele ainda é um monstro no jogo aéreo e vai fazer os alas correrem menos (Nico González agradece).
Riscos? Bem, ele pode ser mais lento que uma tartaruga, mas como dizem: ‘Se não tem velocidade, tem experiência!’
E aí, time da Fiorentina vai brilhar ou vai chorar com esse vovô do gol? Comentem!
The Ageless Wonder Returns
At 37, Edin Dzeko isn’t just signing contracts - he’s rewriting biology textbooks. That ‘1+1 deal’? More like ‘1+∞’ for Serie A defenders who still can’t handle his 6’4” frame.
Statistician’s Dream
Fiorentina gets Champions League experience (85 apps!) for €2.5m/year? In today’s market, that’s like finding a vintage Ferrari at scrapyard prices. His 58% aerial duel win rate proves gravity works differently for Bosnian diamonds.
Nostalgia with Numbers
While his Wolfsburg partner Grafite retired, Dzeko keeps going - turning ‘veteran striker’ into the ultimate flex. Smart move by Viola: low-risk, high-reward, and guaranteed meme potential when he outjumps defenders half his age.
Can we get a ‘Dzeko vs Father Time’ PPV already?
