Off and pre-season[edit]

On 1 June 2023 the club announced the dates for the run into the new season, these were that on 20 June would be the press conference with the new head coach, then on 21 June would be the start for the first teams training and from 24 June until 1 July a summer trainings camp in Seefeld in Tirol in Austria.[5] One of the most interesting statements that the club owners said, was in a radio interview before the new season, and it was that they wanted to keep 90% of the team together that had played so well in the 2022–23 UEFA Europa Conference League.

On 20 July FCB announced that they had signed their former youth footballer Dominik Schmid on a three year contract from from Grasshopper Club.[6]

As the team planning started, the club announced that they would not exercise the purchase options for three players that had been in on loan the previous season. Darian Males, Andi Zeqiri and Kasim Nuhu, therefore, left the club.[7] On 20 June, it was announced that Finn van Breemen had signed in from ADO Den Haag.[8] Then, on 23 June, it was announced that Kaly Sène had left the club, because his contract had not been extended, and that he had signed a contract with Lausanne-Sport.[9] On 30 June, it was announced that Andy Diouf had transferred out to French club Lens.[10] Then, on 3 July, it was announed that Thierno Barry[11] had signed in from Beveren and that Jonathan Dubasin had signed in from Albacete[12] On 12 July, it was announced that Andy Pelmard had transferred out to Clermont Foot.[13] One day later, on 13 July, it was also announced that the loan contract for Sayfallah Ltaief to FC Winterthur would be extended until 30 June 2024.[14] On 17 July, it was published that young talent Liam Chipperfield, who had spent ten years in the FCB youth department would move to Sion.[15] Two days later, on 19 July, it was announced that Zeki Amdouni had transferred to Burnley.[16] The next day the club announced that Bradley Fink would be loaned out to Grasshoppers until 30 June 2024.[17]

By this time ten players had left the club and only three new players had joined, therefore, the news and the publications kept the flow that had been developed in the meantime. On 21 July, it was then announced that three youngsters, Leon Avdullahu, Axel Kayombo and Arlet Junior Zé, who had been part of the FCB U-18 team that had just won the Swiss championship, had signed professional contracts and advanced to the first team.[18] On 25 July, Basel signed in Georgia international Gabriel Sigua from Dinamo Tbilisi on a five-year contract.[19] On 11 August Basel then signes German youth international Maurice Malone from Augsburg on a four-year contract.[20] Then again on the outwards direction, on 14 August, it was announced that Swiss international Dan Ndoye had moved on to Bologna.[21] Again on the inwards direction, during the following days a number of new signings were announced, Austrian international Yusuf Demir on a one-year loan from Galatasaray,[22] Serbian international Đorđe Jovanović on a four-year contract from Maccabi Tel Aviv,[23] Bosnian international Adrian Leon Barišić also on a four-year contract from Osijek,[24] and then Tunisian international Mohamed Dräger on a three-year contract from Nottingham Forest.[25]

Another player who chose to move out was Wouter Burger, he signed for Stoke City on 25 August.[26] Then, on 28 August, Basel announced two new signings, first that of Juan Gauto from Club Atlético Huracán on a five-year deal,[27] and then that of Renato Veiga, on a four-year contract, from Sporting CP.[28] Further players to move out were Riccardo Calafiori[29] definately to Bologna on 31 August, Liam Millar on loan to Preston North End,[30] Nasser Djiga on loan to Red Star Belgrade.[31] and Emmanuel Essiam on loan to Stade Lausanne Ouchy.[32] The final signing was Kevin Rüegg who came in on a one-year loan from Hellas Verona.[33]
