Veteran striker Edin Dzeko has signed a new contract extension with Schalke 04 that will keep him at the club beyond his 41st birthday. The Bosnian icon joined the Gelsenkirchen side in January 2026, scoring six goals in 11 appearances to propel the former German giants back to the Bundesliga for the first time since the 2022-23 campaign.

Schalke are moving to secure the futures of Loris Karius and Edin Dzeko after the experienced duo played key roles in the club's return to the Bundesliga. The goalkeeper is reportedly close to agreeing fresh terms, while the striker has been offered a new deal but will delay a decision until after his international commitments with Bosnia-Herzegovina.
