FC Basel secures future with veteran Fabian Frei for another season – Footymercato.com

FC Basel has solidified its squad for the upcoming season with the extension of veteran midfielder Fabian Frei‘s contract.

The Swiss club took to Instagram to announce the news, revealing that Frei’s contract, set to expire at the end of the current season, has been automatically prolonged for another year. This decision comes as Frei fulfilled the requisite number of appearances for the team, demonstrating his continued value to the Bebbi.

At 35-years-old, Frei boasts a long history with FC Basel, having initially joined the club’s youth ranks back in 2004. After progressing through the U18 to U21 levels, he transitioned to the senior team where he spent two seasons before embarking on loan spells with St. Gallen.

Following successful stints away, Frei returned to Basel for four more years before venturing to the Bundesliga with Mainz 05. However, in 2018, he reunited with his beloved club, and his loyalty to FC Basel remains unwavering as he commits to another season in their colors.
