Edin Džeko and Robin Gosens reunite at Schalke 04

Robin Gosens posted an emotional Instagram tribute to teammate Edin Džeko after both players signed for FC Schalke 04. In the post, Gosens praised Džeko’s professionalism, work ethic and influence on the locker‑room, noting that only a few players shape a career. The message quickly gathered about 30,000 likes, and Džeko replied with a brief, friendly comment.

The two have a long‑standing partnership, having played together at Inter Milan – where they won the 2023 Coppa Italia and reached the Champions League final – and later at ACF Fiorentina in the 2025/26 season. Their reunion at Schalke is presented as a boost for the club’s Bundesliga campaign, though both must recover from recent injuries before they can combine Gosens’s wing play with Džeko’s aerial threat.

Club officials and fans view the duo’s experience and leadership as vital for Schalke’s ambitions to climb the league table, with the expectation that their off‑field chemistry will translate into on‑field performance.
