Darian Males (Template:Lang-sr;[2] born 3 May 2001) is a Swiss professional footballer who plays as a forward for BSC Young Boys in the Swiss Super League.

Career

FC Luzern

On 13 June 2019, Males signed his first professional contract with his childhood club FC Luzern.[3] He made his professional debut for Luzern in a 1–0 Swiss Super League win over Neuchâtel Xamax on 26 September 2019.[4]

Inter Milan

On 16 September 2020, Males signed five-year contract with the Italian team Inter Milan.[5] Nine days later, he joined Genoa on a six month loan contract.[6][7] He made one appearance for Genoa in Coppa Italia.

Loan to FC Basel

On 15 February 2021, Males moved on a six month loan to Swiss Super League side FC Basel.[8] He joined Basel's first team during the winter break of their 2020–21 season under head coach Ciriaco Sforza. Males played his domestic league debut for the club in the home game in the St. Jakob-Park five days later, on 20 February, as Basel played a goalless draw with Lausanne-Sport.[9] He scored his first goal for the club on 3 March in the home game as Basel played a 1–1 draw with the Young Boys.[10] At the end of the season the loan came to an end and Males then returned to Inter Milan.

However, on 9 July 2021, Males returned to Basel for their 2021–22 season under their new head coach Patrick Rahmen for a further two-year loan, with an option for the club of a definitive purchase.[11] In the 2022–23 UEFA Europa Conference League Basel advanced as far as the semi-finals, but here they were defeated by Fiorentina. Nevertheless, on 8 June 2023, the club announced that they declined to trigger their buy option.[12] Thus he departed Basel after nearly two and a half years on loan. During his time with the club, Males played a total of 119 games for Basel scoring a total of 20 goals. 72 of these games were in the Swiss Super League, six in the Swiss Cup, 28 in the UEFA Conference League and 13 were friendly games. He scored nine goals in the domestic league, five in the cup, five in the European games and the other was scored during the test games.[13]

Young Boys

On 19 July 2023, he permanently signed with Swiss double winners BSC Young Boys.[14] He is contracted for four years to the club, until summer 2027.
