Chinese are about to retreat: are the GC sell-offs moving very fast now?

When a rumor went around a week ago that sports director Bernt Haas would be fired immediately, GC went on the counter-offensive. The media outlets that published the false report were rebuked in a sharp statement. At the same time, President Matt Jackson invited dialogue: “It is our intention to have open, accessible and transparent communications and to invite anyone who wishes to speak with us to campus.”

Blick took the Englishman at his word – and asked for a meeting last week. But contrary to the willingness for “open and transparent communication” on the GC campus, both Jackson and Haas declined. Only Amir Abrashi was available. The captain didn’t say anything concrete about the simmering sales rumors, only saying: “I don’t know what’s happening behind the scenes and I’m ignoring the whole thing. We get our wages, you can’t influence anything else.”

Despite the bosses’ ‘I’m getting out’ strategy: there is mounting evidence that the change in ownership of the GC can now be processed quickly. It has been known for almost a year: the Chinese, who became involved in the spring of 2020, want to sell. GC became a million dollar hole for President Jenny Wang; more than ten million francs had to be injected per season to cover the deficit. It makes sense that buyers wouldn’t line up for such a loss-making company.

GC soon in the same network with Bayern Munich?

But then: In the autumn of 2023, the exchange between the Chinese and the owners of Los Angeles FC was leaked. And since then, reports of American interest have continued. Last week the “Kicker” wrote that the deal was almost complete. Why does GC appear in the German football newspaper? Answer: Because Los Angeles entered into a partnership with Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich in March 2023.

GC could therefore find a place in an illustrious network. GC’s behavior in the transfer market also suggests that this moment will arrive soon. To be precise: passivity. In December, sports director Haas announced that he wanted to strengthen the team in several areas. One wish is the return of defensive all-rounder Michael Lang.

However, the Hoppers have not yet signed a new player. And the sale of midfield jewel Dion Kacuri to FC Basel is also stagnating – according to information from Blick due to the upcoming transfer of ownership. It is quite possible that GC will no longer enter the Wankdorf Stadium under the Chinese flag at the start of the second half of the season against YB on Saturday.
