Dzeko became German champion with VfL Wolfsburg in 2009 and moved to Manchester City in January 2011. The 39-year-old Bosnian striker has also played for AS Roma, Inter Milan, Fenerbahce Istanbul and, most recently, Fiorentina last summer. However, he hardly ever played there.

Schalke, with Swiss midfielder Adrian Gantenbein, are aiming to return to the Bundesliga in their third season in the second tier since relegation.
