Why the symbiosis of Kasami and FCB could be promising
Pajtim Kasami has been a FC Basel player since Monday. On Wednesday in his presentation he explained what fascinates him about FCB, what role Matías Delgado played and why this transfer could be a reconciliation.
Pajtim Kasami has changed a lot in his life. He sought new paths and found new countries. He tried his luck in unknown leagues and returned to the known ones. It was a journey in search of the place where to take the turn.
In nine years he has gone ten laps without ever getting it right. Not in Piraeus, not in Palermo, not in London, not in Lucerne.
Pajtim Kasami also took the wrong path on Wednesday. “It took me twenty minutes from the hotel to the stadium, even though the GPS was only showing seven minutes,” he says and smiles. You don’t know Basel yet, you still haven’t fully realized that you are now at FC Basel. Not even two days after signing.
Pajtim Kasami has already gone too far in his life, beyond the goal. Because the very one he was aiming at was too high. It began at 16 when he entered Liverpool’s youth, the origin of his odyssey.
Kasami and his special inspiration from Basel
On Wednesday, Pajtim Kasami also drove too much, “on his way to training with the bicycle.” He says and smiles, again. He often does that on Wednesday. Because although he was often lost, Pajtim Kasami has now gotten to where he wanted to be. “I have always especially liked FCB”. He was fascinated by the Champions League appearances and the players in the past. Especially Matías Delgado, “whom I have always loved for his way of playing.”

Delgado had inspired him, had exchanged opinions with him, asked him when he would finally arrive in Basel. “And he was one of the first to congratulate me on my move.” To this move, which Kasami sees as one of those rewards that he was always sure would come at some point. “It is a great goal in my career that I have achieved with this move. But I won’t stop here. “The road should lead him to the championship title, that’s his goal in Basel.
Kasami and the meaning of her name
One that is entrusted to him with FCB and especially FCB with him. Because it seems to be a symbiosis that should have come true a long time ago. “It is a special story for me and for FCB because there have always been specific conversations,” he says.
Now it is there. It is a reconciliation for him, who had wanted to go to Basel for a long time. But there is more. Kasami is the latest arrival in an exciting transfer phase from Basel. One that was an offensive of charm by the leadership and at the same time a declaration of war. The FCB has invested because the objectives are clearer than they have been for a long time: to be champions. Back to the Europa League. Conquer the fans again.
On the way to the latter, the last arrival could be key. 28-year-old Kasami was not only able to find her peace of mind in Basel, but also became a soul balm for fans. It could bring leadership and fans closer together again, even reconcile something. Because symbolically it can represent a new beginning. If Pajtim Kasami succeeds, it would be a special, even significant episode. Because Pajtim means reconciliation in Albanian.
