Becir Omeragic was once seen as a candidate to bring FC Zurich a record-breaking sum on the transfer market. Now the master only receives training compensation for the defense talent. What went wrong?
In February 2021, FCZ President Ancillo Canepa replied in an NZZ interview to the question of whether Becir Omeragic would be FC Zurich’s record sales: “I hope so.
