FC Basel wrote on its homepage on Tuesday afternoon: “Dr. Vali blybt bi us!” FCB and its captain Valentin Stocker prematurely extend the contract for another two years. The flirtation with the FCL appears to have been just a game of poker.
With their attacking player Valentin Stocker, FC Basel have prematurely extended the contract, which will expire next summer, for two more years until the summer of 2023 with an option for one more year.
Valentin Stocker remains red-blue and will not turn blue-white.
Until now, many things have indicated that the 31-year-old from Kriens is returning home to Lake Lucerne. FC Luzern was in negotiations with Valentin Stocker. However, the FCL could have outperformed the FCB with the length of the contract, but certainly not with the salary. Stocker will continue to earn much more than what Lucerne could offer him in the future.
The Basler announces on the FCB website: “Dr. Vali blybt bi us!”
“Wearing the colors of this club means a lot to me. I am honored to be the captain of this team and I am sure that together we can achieve great things in the future, ”Stocker said, according to the FCB homepage, right after signing. The 350 games, six championship titles, four cup victories, many “magic nights” are also written in red and blue and that Valentin Stocker moved directly from SC Kriens to FC Basel at the age of 16. Rhine’s knee relief appears to be great because Lucerne is sticking around, rather than switching to FCL.
The decision is noted in the FCL
The people of Lucerne are pragmatic: they do not comment on the players who have renewed their club membership. Understandably. But the reactions at the Swisspor Arena also show that Valentin Stocker would have liked to see him play in light blue and white. With the contract extension in Basel, the issue is probably off the table forever.
