Sports director Meyer confirms Luzern jewel rumors: ‘FCB request for Jashari has been received’

Ardon Jashari (20) to FC Basel? The “Luzerner Zeitung” was the first to report on this hammer rumor and a little later the “Basler Zeitung”. At first glance, everything sounds logical and conceivable: FCB is looking for a replacement for the departed Andy Diouf. And the jewel of Lucerne plays in exactly the same position. Moreover, the Basel team was after him last year.

However, the whole thing should be treated with caution. According to information from Blick, Jashari still prefers to move abroad. Sports director Remo Meyer has ruled out a transfer within the Super League several times – including on Friday. But he confirms the interest of the Rheinknie. «A request from FCB has been received. But for us as a club that is not an option,” he told Blick.

In addition: The BaZ says that the negotiations are only about the transfer fee, which should be in the order of 5 million francs. That would be a historic transfer record in Switzerland. However, research by Blick shows that FCB will hardly be able to afford this amount for the young FCL captain in his financial situation.

There are three reasons against it

For Lucerne, on the other hand, 5 million would be quite little. Even if any bonus payments and further participation in a subsequent transfer would be added. For three reasons: Meyer has repeatedly stressed that he doesn’t have to sell a player for the money. Jashari (estimated market value CHF 7.5 million) has a long-term contract until 2026, which means its price tag is more expensive than cheap and does not put pressure on FCL to sell. FCB, for their part, urgently needs to strengthen itself in order to complete their midfield before the start of the season.

Regardless of all the rumours, it is clear that Jashari will probably be hard to keep in Central Switzerland. Therefore, the club officials did not use it in the advertising campaign for the new home shirt.
