Edin Dzeko Moves to Fenerbahce on Free Transfer
Edin Dzeko has completed a move from Inter Milan to Fenerbahce on a free transfer. The 37-year-old striker signed a two-year deal with the Turkish side, having played his final game for Inter in the UEFA Champions League final, which they lost 1-0 to Manchester City in Istanbul.
Goodbye Inter
Dzeko bid farewell to Inter Milan on Instagram, writing: “Goodbye Inter, it’s been two wonderful years. It has been an amazing journey. We’re parting ways now, but thank you.” During his two years at the club, Dzeko scored 31 goals in 101 appearances, including 14 last season. He also won two Coppa Italia titles with the Serie A side.
Previous Success
Dzeko has enjoyed a successful career, having won Premier League and Bundesliga titles with Manchester City and Wolfsburg respectively. He has scored more than 300 goals in his club career, making him one of the most prolific strikers of his generation.
Fenerbahce’s New Striker
Fenerbahce finished runners-up to Galatasaray in the 2022-23 Super Lig season, having last won the league title in 2014. They won the Turkish Cup last season – their first trophy for nine years. Dzeko will receive £3.6m per season at Fenerbahce, and will fill the gap left by Enner Valencia, who was the top scorer in the Turkish top flight with 29 goals last season. The Ecuador international striker has left for Internacional in Brazil.
Conclusion
Edin Dzeko’s move to Fenerbahce marks the end of an impressive two-year spell at Inter Milan, during which he won two Coppa Italia titles and scored 31 goals in 101 appearances. He will now look to help Fenerbahce win their first league title since 2014 and add to his impressive tally of over 300 career goals.
