German club Schalke 04 is keen to extend the contract of 40-year-old Bosnian forward Edin Dzeko, according to Italian journalist Nicolò Schira on social media.

The Bundesliga club is planning to prolong Dzeko's deal until the summer of 2027. The forward's future is expected to be decided during this year's FIFA World Cup.

Dzeko moved to Schalke 04 in January this year, marking a return to European football after a stint with MLS side Inter Miami. His experience and goal-scoring ability have been a valuable asset to the club despite his advanced age.

Edin Dzeko, a former Manchester City and Roma striker, is known for his clinical finishing and leadership on the field. His potential extension with Schalke 04 would signal the club’s commitment to retaining a proven goal-scorer who has consistently delivered in the top leagues of Europe.

The upcoming World Cup in Qatar could play a decisive role in Dzeko's future plans, as his performance on the international stage may influence his decision to continue his career in Germany or explore other opportunities.
