Schalke 04 Made 600,000 Euros from Dzeko Jersey Sales; Star Nears Return

Published Jul 30, 12:42 PM UTC

FC Schalke 04 is on the verge of re-signing veteran striker Edin Dzeko for another season, with a medical check scheduled for late July 2026. The 40-year-old Bosnian, who helped the club secure promotion with six goals and three assists in 11 games last season, could earn up to 1.3 million euros through bonuses. According to BILD, Schalke sold approximately 15,000 Dzeko jerseys in the second half of the previous season, generating around 600,000 euros in revenue (about 40 euros per shirt). While the second wave of sales is expected to be smaller due to existing purchases, the club hopes a new retro-style away jersey, combined with Dzeko's name, will become a major bestseller and provide another financial boost.
