“At Manchester City, Edin was fundamental,” said Mancini. “He scored many goals, some of which were decisive for winning titles. He is a striker who knows how to play, who holds up the ball well, and who has always scored in any league he’s played in.”
With rumors circulating about Džeko’s possible return to Serie A with Fiorentina, Mancini had no doubts about the Bosnian forward’s ability to still perform at the top level.
“If he’s physically fit,” Mancini added, “he can definitely score many goals in Italy too. I think he could be a very useful player for Fiorentina. He has experience, quality, and a deep understanding of the game. He’s not just a finisher—he helps the team and is very smart tactically.”
Džeko, who will turn 39 in March, has recently completed a season at Fenerbahçe, where he continued to prove his worth with double-digit goals in the Turkish Süper Lig. Fiorentina, aiming to bolster their attacking options, see Džeko as a veteran presence who can bring goals, leadership, and Champions League experience to their lineup.
Should the move materialize, Džeko would return to Serie A after his previous stints with Roma and Inter Milan, where he consistently found the net and played a key role in both domestic and European competitions.
For now, fans of La Viola and Serie A await developments as the club considers adding a proven goalscorer to its attacking arsenal.
