Now 39, Dzeko is set to draw for Fiorentina van Fenerbahce.
Barbarez said to TMW: “I am convinced that Edin has strength, strength and quality and that this is the most serious and important part of football, both for him and for the club.
“In football I think there is no room to 'see'. Of course the years count and everyone has their own biological clock, but Edin is still at the height of his skills that are intact.”
He added: “I am convinced that Fiorentina has closed an excellent deal and that they will have a lot of fun and successes with Edin.”
