The box office is full, the cabins are empty: FC Basel’s hot game

class=”sc-29f61514-0 fQbOYE”>

Darian Males, Zeki Amdouni, Andi Zeqiri, Dan Ndoye, Michael Lang and Andy Diouf: in this order, these were the FC Basel players with the most scorer points in the past season.

time? Will sign with YB soon. Amdouni? On the verge of leaving a top league, FCB faces a double-digit million transfer fee. Zeqiri? Was not signed after loan from England. not? If FCB wants to leave after two seasons, offers must come. Long? Stay in Basel. Diouf? His departure for 15 million francs to RC Lens is certain.

40 million francs for FC Basel

By the end of the transfer summer, FCB will probably have given up five of their best scorers. There are also other key departures: regular central defender Andy Pelmard, whose transfer to Clermont Foot is pouring between three and four million francs into the coffers. His neighbor Kasim Adams, the player with the fifth most playing minutes last season, has returned to Hoffenheim.

It is believed that the club will have collected some 40 million francs in transfer fees by the end of the summer. And in one fell swoop more than covers the structural deficit of the year. This satisfies the club owners around President David Degen, who have no need for further financial injections on their part.

Will FC Basel lose more than 100 scorer points?

In return, the cabin empties. Joggeli exhausts that quality, without which the semi-finals in the Conference League and the European Cup qualification on the last day would not have been possible. In numbers: With Diouf, Zeqiri and Males, 58 score points are already gone. With Amdouni and Ndoye, another 39 will probably be added. Make over 100 errant scorer points with those of Pelmard and Adams.

The new coach Timo Schultz has already expressed his dissatisfaction with the precarious personnel situation. In the training camp, an eleven against eleven match was not possible, the equipment manager had to assist as right back. A reason to smile, in fact – if things weren’t so precarious.

The new ones should work immediately

The FCB officials play fiercely and the risk of fire increases early in the season: young signings Thierno Barry, Finn van Bremen and Jonathan Dubasin have to function immediately – in the league, but especially in the European Cup qualifiers starting with the week after next.

If they miss the Conference League group stage, FCB’s business model would falter once again. Because: thanks to the excellent performance in Europe last spring, it is now raining transfer millions over Basel.
