Exclusive: Dzeko Verbal Agreement with Fiorentina
In a stunning development, sources close to the matter have revealed to Football Italia that Edin Dzeko has reached a verbal agreement with Fiorentina, paving the way for his return to Serie A. The 39-year-old Bosnia-Herzegovina international is expected to sign a one-year contract with the Viola, bringing an end to his two-year stint at Fenerbahce.
According to sources with direct knowledge of the matter, Fiorentina have overtaken Bologna in the race for Dzeko, with the club’s new coach Stefano Pioli playing a key role in securing the deal. "Dzeko will sign his Fiorentina contract once the final formal details are fixed," a source close to the matter told Football Italia.
Dzeko’s contract with Fenerbahce expires at the end of the month, making him available as a free agent. The experienced centre-forward has already scored 107 goals in 268 Serie A games with Inter and Roma, and will look to add to that tally in the Italian top flight.
Fiorentina’s interest in Dzeko was first reported by Football Italia last week, with the club joining Bologna in the pursuit of the former Manchester City star. However, it appears that the Viola have taken a leading position in the negotiations, and are now on the verge of signing the Bosnia-Herzegovina international.
The move would mark Dzeko’s return to Serie A, where he has previously played for Inter and Roma. With his wealth of experience and goal-scoring ability, Dzeko is expected to be a valuable addition to Fiorentina’s squad.
As the transfer window heats up, Football Italia will continue to provide exclusive updates on the deal. For now, it appears that Dzeko’s move to Fiorentina is all but confirmed, with the player set to sign a one-year contract with the club.
In related news, Dzeko’s move to Fiorentina is expected to have a significant impact on the Serie A transfer market. With the club looking to strengthen their squad ahead of the new season, the signing of Dzeko is likely to be followed by further arrivals at the Stadio Artemio Franchi.
As reported by Football Italia, Dzeko’s verbal agreement with Fiorentina is a significant coup for the club. With the player’s contract with Fenerbahce set to expire, the Viola have secured a major signing without having to pay a transfer fee.
The signing of Dzeko is a statement of intent from Fiorentina, who are looking to challenge for a top-six finish in Serie A next season. With Pioli at the helm and Dzeko leading the line, the club’s fans will be optimistic about their chances of success in the upcoming campaign.
