Sorpresa Dzeko, a 40 anni ecco il rinnovo con lo Schalke

Edin Dzeko he doesn’t stop, but starts again. The Bosnian striker has signed a one-year contract extension with Schalke 04, after helping the team return to the Bundesliga last season. The German club announced it. The 40-year-old, who captained Bosnia and Herzegovina at the recent World Cup, joined the club on a free transfer in January.

Dzeko scored six goals in 11 Bundesliga 2 games, helping the team get promoted to the top flight after three years in the second division. “The promotion to the Bundesliga is among the best moments of my career. It was incredible”, Dzeko said in a statement. “Football has made me happy and motivated me all my life. I’m still hungry for success and I want to help our team in the Bundesliga too.” Dzeko could play his first Bundesliga match since leaving Wolfsburg for Manchester City in 2011, when Schalke make their league debut in Augsburg on 30 August.
