Edin Dzeko will join Fenerbahce on a free transfer, subject to medical clearance, the Turkish club confirmed.

The 37-year-old forward is set to start a new chapter in his playing career after leaving Inter after a heartbreaking Champions League final loss to Manchester City.

The Turkish club will reportedly sign him to a two-year contract that will keep him with the club until the summer of 2025 and will pay him roughly €4 million net plus add-ons, as well as a sizable signing bonus.

This move will allow him to continue his career in Europe, as Fenerbahce will compete in the Europa Conference League qualifiers for a place in the group stage.

Dzeko’s contract with the Nerazzurri expires this month, and despite apparently being given a one-year extension, the Bosnian international elected to seek a new challenge after being asked to take a wage reduction.

In the 2022-23 season, he scored 14 goals and assisted on five others for Inter in all competitions.

“To inform. World-famous striker Edin Dzeko will come to Istanbul to pass the health checks and complete the transfer negotiations. We present it to the public,” announced Fenerbahce on social media.

Dzeko has already gone to Istanbul and will sign with Fenerbahce after finishing his medical.
