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.
A lot is happening at Schalke: Edin Dzeko is back, while Robin Gosens has to sit out for the time being – and another top transfer has collapsed at the last minute.
Schalke 04 are apparently on the verge of signing Edin Dzeko and Jesper Lindström. According to matching reports, Schalke have reached agreements with both players.
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.
Loris Karius is reportedly set to reject interest from Italy in order to extend his stay with Schalke following their successful Bundesliga promotion campaign. The former Liverpool goalkeeper has revitalised his career in Gelsenkirchen, emerging as a pivotal figure in the club's return to the German top flight.
Edin Dzeko’s fairytale stint at Schalke has reached a crossroads as the club prepare for life back in the Bundesliga. Despite being a key figure in their successful promotion campaign, the veteran striker's residence in Gelsenkirchen beyond the summer remains a subject of intense speculation.
Schalke 04 can secure their return to the Bundesliga this weekend, but a major concern lingers ahead of the match. According to Bild, the club are deeply concerned ahead of their potential promotion play-off against relegation-threatened Fortuna Dusseldorf, fearing that supporters plan to storm the pitch at all costs.
Niclas Füllkrug has yet to hit his stride at AC Milan. The Rossoneri are already said to have decided on their next steps regarding the German striker.
Edin Dzeko has become a key figure in FC Schalke 04’s attack in record time. What happens to the Bosnian this summer could also depend on whether Schalke remain in the 2. Bundesliga.
