No contract for ex-Nati star: FCZ gives Mehmedi a basket!

Nothing will come of Admir Mehmedi (32) returning to FCZ. As Blick has heard from a well-informed source, FCZ has let the 32-year-old striker know that he does not want to do his services.

A few weeks ago, the return of the 76-time Nati striker seemed as good as settled. “At the end of the season we 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, our relationship is very good,” Mehmedi told in March Blick.

Contract terminated in Turkey

Mehmedi has since returned to Switzerland with his family and has terminated his contract in Turkey. Nothing seemed to stand in the way of his return to his parent club, which he left for Kiev in January 2012. Especially since sports director Marinko Jurendic, who has been in contact with Mehmedi for months, argued for a commitment and chairman Ancillo Canepa was also convinced of the idea.

But about two weeks ago, Jurendic, who moves to Augsburg in the Bundesliga, handed in the “Mehmedi file”.

And now FCZ has slammed the door on his former junior, who also completed his apprenticeship at the FCZ office and later amassed 58 scorer points in 193 games for Leverkusen, Wolfsburg and Freiburg in the Bundesliga.

Why does FCZ not want Mehmedi?

What are the reasons? It shouldn’t be about the money. According to information from Blick, Mehmedi didn’t play poker at all. He has not made exorbitant salary demands or spoken to other clubs. It is said that FCZ coach Bo Henriksen had certain doubts because Mehmedi has not had any match practice lately and he has suffered some kind of injury in his career. Was it crucial that coach Henriksen took over the duties of head of sports after Jurendic’s temporary departure?

Or does the FCZ now have a new transfer strategy? Player advisor Milos Malenovic was recently appointed by FCZ as an external advisor on a mandate basis. Malenovic would scrutinize the club’s transfer and development structures.

Mehmedi, who was not available to Blick, will first have to deal with the disappointment and then start a new interpretation. It is quite possible that other superleague teams will come knocking from today. Maybe also Winterthur, where he played as a boy.
