Many FCB fans who finally returned to the Joggeli for the home game against Lucerna on Sunday will not have digested the great disappointment that was just three days ago. FC Basel was embarrassed in the Europa League playoffs against CSKA Sofia (1: 3) and thus lost the showcase and source of income in the group stage.
And then FCB coach Bernhard Burgener (63) stands in front of the “blue” microphone before kick-off and, contrary to savings expectations due to missing millions from the Europa League, makes a real announcement! ! “We don’t have to be in the mood for a sale, we don’t want that. Sometimes I say to myself: do the impossible! We are very excited about (coach) Ciri Sforza, and we want to invest in one or another strong player in the coming days. “
Burgener makes it clear: Now that the triple load is gone, the focus is entirely on the national titles. For this, as long as possible, the staff must continue working. The transfer window in Switzerland is open until October 12, the international only today, Monday.
Is there a replacement for Ademi? Field fleeing?
What else about Rotblau? Despite the new offensive strategy on the market, one thing is clear: the 31-man squad (!) Is still too big.
- Blas Riveros (22): The first departure at FCB is already arranged! As Bebbi announced at lunchtime Monday, winger Blas Riveros is moving to Brondby Copenhagen in Denmark. The Paraguayan played 95 competitive matches with FCB.
- Kemal Ademi (24): The forward, who is already in Istanbul, will sign with Fenerbahce after successfully completing medical checks. Will there be a replacement despite other forwards on the roster: Ricky van Wolfswinkel (31), Julian von Moos (19), Tician Tushi (19) and Dimitri Oberlin (23)? Possible! Especially since CEO Roland Heri (61) only re-emphasized on Friday: “We will adequately replace any exit.” The question is whether this only applies to high achievers who migrate or also to a case like Ademi, who has a record of a total of 15 goals since the summer of 2019, but was last sidelined with Sforza.
- Samuel Campo (25): It was just a substitute against Lucerna. The playmaker is rumored to be on PAOK Saloniki’s wish list. In any case, the Greeks are going on the offensive, and Campo’s name was already briefly on the club’s website. The entry has now been removed.
- Silvan Widmer (27): Widmer is interested in the Bundesliga. According to “Sky”, the FCB right-back is on Schalke 04’s wish list. As Danny da Costa (27) from Frankfurt is too expensive for the Gelsenkirchen team, the focus is on the Swiss national player. Solo: According to information from BLICK, the replacement is the big problem with Widmer, who still has a contract in Basel until 2022. Schalke cannot afford to buy the player. Possible: a loan with an option to buy. But is the FCB involved?
- Omar Alderete (23): Defender Alderete’s prospects may also remain serious. According to information from BLICK, both Hertha Berlin and Hoffenheim am Paraguayan are on. In pole position: Hertha!
- Timm Klose (32): If Alderete jumps, it is possible that native Basel and Norwich defender Timm Klose will return to the Rhine’s knee.
With the Brazilian Jorge (24) from AS Monaco, FCB has already brought reinforcements for the left defense. After the frustration of the European Cup, will Basel fans now be appeased with one promising compromise or another?
