There is radio silence: does the ex-Nati star of FCZ not want Mehmedi?

A few days ago, Admir Mehmedi terminated his contract with Antalyaspor on the Turkish Mediterranean coast. Admir and his wife Sevdije return home with their children Noar, Nila and Nael, as Noar goes to school after the summer holidays.

Since the champion player of 08/09 left the club for Kiev in January 2012, he has never made it a secret that he would like to return to FCZ one day. In March, Mehmed told Blick: “At the end of the season we will make a layout and see what is best for us as a family. I have been in constant contact with the FCZ managers since I left and the relationship is good. “

The FCZ is looking for a striker. The prodigal son is free and has been in Zurich for more than two weeks. Why has the 76-time Nati striker not been training in FCZ uniform for a long time? Why wasn’t the contract signed long ago? Is there no agreement at FCZ whether you want Mehmedi back at all?

Coach Henriksen has reservations

According to information from Blick, FCZ coach Bo Henriksen was not jumping for joy when the name Mehmedi was mentioned. The Dane is worried because the 32-year-old former FCZ star lacks match training. There are also a number of injuries that Mehmedi has suffered over the course of his career. Henriksen is said to have shared these concerns with Mehmedi. There has been radio silence since the termination of the contract.

Marinko Jurendic, who was in contact with Mehmedi and allegedly campaigned internally for a commitment, has since his announced departure handed over the Mehmedi files to Augsburg. The fact that trainer Henriksen has now taken over the duties of sports director ad interim should not really increase the chance of Mehmedi returning. FCZ boss Ancillo Canepa could not be reached for a statement.

If this door to the FCZ remains closed, another may soon open. Mehmedi, who played 193 games for Leverkusen, Wolfsburg and Freiburg in the Bundesliga and collected 58 points, has another youth club in addition to FCZ. Between the ages of 9 and 15 he wore the jersey of FC Winterthur. A return? Certainly not excluded. No talks have yet taken place between the club and the player.

Mehmedi: «Nothing has been decided yet»

It is also possible that he will end his career. Mehmedi, who once completed the commercial internship at the FCZ office, has already progressed for his career after his career. He recently successfully completed his studies in sports management. «Marketing, accounting, business administration. I can benefit a lot from it. It’s nice if I can already prepare for my second career,” Mehmedi told Blick at the beginning of March. At that time he was still sure that despite a few injuries he still had a few seasons in his legs.

FCZ? Winterthur? Or even fired? The graduated sports manager remains cool as always. “Nothing has been decided yet. I don’t want to say more at the moment.” After the European Championship in the summer of 2021, he said goodbye to the national team without fanfare. “It was about time I made room for a boy. I had a great time,” Mehmedi said later.
