For a long time, little or nothing worked for Donat Rrudhani (24), who moved to the masters as an Aarau shooting star in the summer of 2022. Little playing time last season. This will be even less in the preliminary round. A failure? Too soft?

But then the two games against GC and Yverdon follow. Against the Hoppers, Rrudhani came on after an hour, made the difference and scored the only goal of the match. After this, he explains in detail that it has become more difficult for him, but he tries to stay strong in his mind and work with the trainer to correct his weaknesses. “Now I hope that 2024 will be better,” he concludes. About a possible winter transfer, he simply says: “I don’t know. I can’t talk about it.”

Twice man of the match

Rrudhani then put on a real show against Yverdon after spending 90 minutes on the bench in the 1-0 defeat in Basel in the previous match. Goal. Second assist with a smart corner. He also shoots the most standing balls. Rrudhani is the best man on the field at 5-1. The boss. He was named Man of the Match by Blick for the second time in ten days.

The competition in Lausanne will follow. Freeze for 90 minutes – without use. And shortly after, the press release stated that Rrudhani would immediately leave YB and move to the same Vaudois on loan. The penultimate player at the table is given a purchase option. The question arises: someone is about to stand up for himself – and YB gives him away. Performance principle?

Von Bergen and Rrudhani thought Lausanne was a good idea

Sports director Steve von Bergen explains the change as follows: “Donat did not get the playing time he wanted. We analyzed the situation during the winter break and jointly came to the conclusion that a loan until the end of the season could make sense. Then Lausanne became interested and we found a good solution.”

Okay, so this seemed to have been going on for a while. And what about the performance principle? Von Bergen again: “We have a lot of competition in the attacking positions. At the first matches of the year, Colley and Elia were still two in the African Cup. Mvuka was also signed. So there were no signs that Donat would get much more work time in the future.

No loan transfer without purchase option

Somehow the whole thing remains mysterious. And so the question inevitably arises as to whether something happened. “No, not at all,” said the sports director. «Donat always behaved very well. It speaks for him and his work ethic that he helped us with his goals against GC and Yverdon – at a time when there was already speculation about a possible move.”

And then there is the purchase option. Which indicates that YB has lost faith in Rrudhani. Von Bergen deviates a bit: “We have agreed to the purchase option so that Donat gets more playing time at Lausanne. Without a purchase option it would not have been possible to loan him.”

Explosive: Will Hajdari play against his new club?

And so the Kosovo international will now play against YB. For his first club there is the city derby in Stade-Lausanne-Ouchy on Saturday. And for the Bernese we go to Lugano. Also a special note, because Lugano’s central defender Albian Hajdari (20) would be a good candidate to succeed Aurèle Amenda this summer. At best, an immediate transfer to replace cruciate ligament victim Loris Benito. It’s all a matter of money. The YB has.
