Mini bio
How it started.
Born in Sarajevo, Edin began his football career at Željezničar. He initially played in midfield before moving to the Czech Republic in 2005. A loan at Ústí nad Labem and a spell at Teplice helped him find his feet as a goalscorer.
The breakthrough.
Wolfsburg brought him to Germany in 2007. He scored 26 league goals alongside Grafite’s 28 as the club won the 2008/09 Bundesliga title. The next season, Edin took the league’s scoring crown himself with 22 goals.
Goals fans remember.
At Manchester City, he won two Premier League titles and headed the late equaliser against QPR before Sergio Agüero’s winner in 2012. He later became Serie A’s top scorer with Roma in 2016/17. Two seasons at Inter brought 31 goals and four trophies.
The latest chapter.
After Fenerbahçe and Fiorentina, Edin joined Schalke in January 2026 and helped the team win promotion. He signed on for their Bundesliga return, then said goodbye to international football in October after almost two decades with Bosnia and Herzegovina.
