Overview

Off and pre-season

There were a number of changes in the squad during the summer break. Zdravko Kuzmanović,[9] and Kevin Bua[10] left the club because their contracts were not renewed. Edon Zhegrova, Emil Bergström and Eric Ramires[11] also left the club and this because their loan periods had ended. Then on 12 August the club announced that Jonas Omlin was transferred out to Montpellier.[12] After the season had started and the club failed to qualify for the group stage of the 2020–21 UEFA Europa League, the club made three announcements on 5 October, first that Blás Riveros had transferred to Brøndby,[13] then that Kemal Ademi had moved on to Fenerbahçe[14] and finally that Omar Alderete had been transferred to Hertha BSC.[15]

In the other direction, the players Konstantinos Dimitriou, Julian Von Moos, Aldo Kalulu and Dimitri Oberlin were back in the Basel squad after being out on loan for the previous season. Arthur Cabral, who had been on loan from Palmeiras, was signed in on a perminat basis on a three year contract.[16] The contract with Ricky van Wolfswinkel had run out, but he signed in for another two years until the end of the 2021–22 season.[17] On 11 September FCB announced that they had prolonged the contract with Taulant Xhaka until summer 2024.[18] Then it was announced on 15 September that they had also prolonged the contract with captain Valentin Stocker.[19]

Further, on 8 August the former Austrian national team goalkeeper Heinz Lindner was signed in from Wehen Wiesbaden, with a three year contract dated up until summer 2023.[20] Then on 11 September Italian full-back Andrea Padula was signed in from FC Wil, where he had played the last half year under manager Ciriaco Sforza, also on a three year contact.[21] Somewhat surprising came the announcement on 19 September that Juventus had bought U-18 right back defender Albian Hajdari, but he stayed with the squad, being loaned back to Basel for two seasons.[22]

The 2020–21 Swiss Super League started on 20 September, but then on 22 September the club announced that the Kosovar international Edon Zhegrova (who's loan from Genk had actually ended at the end of June) had also signed in new on a three year contract.[23] On 2 October it was announced that Jorge Marco de Oliveira Moraes, simply known as Jorge, had signed in on a loan contract from Monaco.[24] On 7 October the club then announced that Swiss international player Timm Klose had been signed in on loan from Norwich City. Klose had played for the club as youth international, but had moved onto FC Thun in the 2011–12 Swiss Super League season to start his professional football career.[25] Finaly, only hours before the transfer-period closed, the club announced that Pajtim Kasami had signed in on a two year contract.[26] Kasami had previously played for Sion, but FC Sion's president Christian Constantin had terminated his contract with them, without notice, after he had failed to agree to an 80% salary pay cut during coronavirus pandemic.[27] The transfer-period in Switzerland closed on 12 October at mid-night.

In total 12 players had left the club and 12 players had signed in.

Winter break transfer window

On the 5 December 2020 Basel announced that they had terminated the contract with Dimitri Oberlin, without stating the reason, but according to the media it had something to do with a non-corona-conform party.[28] On 14 January the club then announced that they had loaned Tician Tushi out to FC Wil until the end of the season, so that he could gain more playing experience. His trainer in Wil would be Alex Frei who was his coach as he played with the Basel U-18 youth team.[29] Basel's fourth goalkeeper Jozef Pukaj was loaned to Stade Lausanne Ouchy until 30 June 2021.[30] On 27 January Basel announced that they had transferred Konstantinos Dimitriou to Mezőkövesdi SE.[31] On the same day it was made public that Amir Abrashi had signed in on loan from Freiburg.[32] On 30 January Gonçalo Cardoso also signed in on loan from West Ham.[33] On 1 February The club announced that Samuele Campo had been loaned ou to SV Darmstadt 98.[34]

The draw for the second qualifying round was held on 31 August 2020 and Basel were drawn with an away game against Osijek of Croatia. This was to be played on 17 September and they won the game with 2–1. In the third qualifying round, to be played one week later on 24 September, they were drawn at home against Anorthosis Famagusta.
