New signing Sow causes excitement
Asane Sow, 20, moved from Serie C to the Rhine region in the summer. The forward scored three goals and provided two assists in four games. FCB boss David Degen emphasized in the «Box-To-Box» podcast that the transfer was finalized before GC's takeover by the Bridge Football Group.
FCB contacted Sow before GC takeover
Deléchat explained that Basel was already interested in the young player in early June. «We received a very good offer from FC Pro Vercelli», said the president. The Hoppers were still in American hands at the time, which is why the contact between the Bebbi and Sow occurred before the takeover.
Record transfer for Pro Vercelli
The 20-year-old Sow became the record transfer for Pro Vercelli, benefiting the Italian club financially. Deléchat noted that the player himself wanted to move. «He was very interesting for us», said the president. Sow signed a contract until 2030.
