“Cédric Zesiger signs four-year deal with VfL Wolfsburg after YB championship win”

It was only on Sunday that Cédric Zesiger celebrated the 16th championship title in club history with YB. While it should still smell of champagne in the catacombs of the Wankdorf stadium, the 24-year-old already has the next reason to celebrate: As the “Wolfsburger Allgemeine” wrote on Wednesday morning, Zesiger is said to have signed a four-year contract with VfL Wolfsburg. It is also said that the wolves would transfer around five million francs to Bern for the Bernese Seelander, who should fit perfectly into the Bundesliga club’s requirements.

A little later, the newly crowned Swiss champion confirmed: “Yes, Zesiger is moving to Wolfsburg.” On the one hand, you lose a model professional who has established himself at the highest level and who serves as a role model for many players with his will, passion and determination, YB sports director is quoted as saying in a media release. “On the other hand, we’re happy for Cédric because he earned the transfer to the Bundesliga with consistently strong performances.”

Zesiger himself comments: “With the move to Wolfsburg, a dream has come true for me. I am convinced that this ambitious club is ideal to take the next step.” Zesiger has been playing at YB since 2019, where he has been champion three times and cup winner once. The two-time national player was previously under contract with GC and Xamax. He will still be available to YB up to and including the cup final on June 4th against Lugano. (sih)
