Whether it is Inter Milan, Sporting Lisbon or RB Leipzig – since David Degen (40) took over at FCB, the Basel team has regularly acquired rough diamonds from top international clubs. However, the Bazelians rarely get their hands on real top players, such as Andy Diouf (20), who FCB sells on after just one year for a substantial profit.
The FCB shopping tours in Switzerland are considerably more successful. One of Basel’s greatest jewels: Roméo Beney (19). Degen will take the winger from FC Sion’s U18 team in the autumn of 2021. Beney finally made his Super League debut last December, scoring his first professional goal in a 3-1 win against Lugano.
Behind Beney, the next young player is already ready, Axel Kayombo (17), who will soon have to play his first professional match. The team from Basel also stole this attacking talent from a competition rival in 2022 with Servette.
FCB serves Zurich twice
In recent days, Pearl Diver Degen has struck twice again. The team from Basel removed Dion Kacuri (19) from the rankings. The national U21 player is even scheduled for the first team.
In addition, FCB also continues to improve its youth ranks. With storming talent Giacomo Koloto (16), the Basel team also stole a gem from the other club from Zurich, with which FCZ sports director Milos Malenovic (39) was anything but satisfied.
Better opportunities for young players
There is one important reason why the youth shopping trips in Basel are so successful: after players from their own youth team had little chance of making it to the first team for a long time, they suddenly started playing regular minutes under Fabio Celestini (48).
However, this does not only apply to the captured jewels, but also to players who have been at home on the FCB campus for years. Two homegrown players have recently received new contracts, Leon Avdullahu (19) and the recently injured Andrin Hunziker (20). This means that the FCB jewels are kept relatively safe, at least for the time being.
