In a surprising turn that could change the landscape of the summer transfers for Bosnian striker Edin Dzeko, he is on the verge of moving to the Saudi Roshan League, distancing himself from the European options that had been recently proposed.

Despite reports of an agreement with Italian club Hellas Verona, sources close to the player confirmed that there is a strong offer from Saudi club Al-Akhidood, and Dzeko has shown initial openness to undertake this Gulf experience.

Dzeko concluded his last season with Fenerbahce with a notable performance, having participated in 35 matches in the Turkish league, scoring 21 goals and assisting 3 goals, as well as netting 3 goals in the Turkish Cup and another 3 in the European league.

If the deal goes through, Dzeko will join a list of stars who have recently chosen the Saudi league, as clubs strive to elevate the technical level and promote the championship both locally and globally.

While reports indicate that Dzeko is close to undergoing medical examinations in Verona on Thursday, other sources suggest that he will not finalize his position before the advanced negotiations with Al-Akhidood conclude in the coming days.
