Italian journalist Matteo Moretto stated that Fiorentina is preparing to make significant changes to its squad in January and that Dzeko is among the players who could leave. The forward has two options: to try to improve his performance in the second half of the season or to move to a different club. Džeko is a 39-year-old Bosnia-Herzegovina international with 146 caps and 72 goals. He joined Fiorentina in July 2025, and his contract runs until June 2026. The context for his potential departure is a record of zero goals and assists in 10 Serie A appearances this season. His current market value is estimated by Transfermarkt at €1.60m.
