SportsAccording to BILD Sport, Schalke 04 has successfully concluded negotiations with star striker Edin Dzeko (40). The Bosnian will sign a one-year contract on Monday, July 28, 2026, following a mandatory medical check. Dzeko, who has been without a contract since July 1, will earn a base salary of around 900,000 euros, with bonuses potentially pushing his annual earnings to 1.3 million euros, making him a top earner alongside Kenan Karaman and Robin Gosens. The deal was finalized after Schalke's Sports Director Frank Baumann flew to Croatia to meet Dzeko, and coach Miron Muslic and captain Karaman also courted him. Dzeko previously played for Schalke in the second half of last season, scoring six goals and providing three assists to help secure promotion to the Bundesliga. His mission this season is to help the club stay in the top division.
