There are two questions for center-forward Ermedin Demirovic (22), loaned by Alaves. Firstly: will he stay in Eastern Switzerland until the end of the season? His loan contract expires on June 30. Second: what happens afterwards? Can St. Gallen keep the 22 year old?
According to BLICK information, at least the first question has been answered. “Demi”, as he is called in the club, can now definitely end the season with FC St. Gallen. Only on Friday, sports director Alain Sutter said, “We are about to extend the contract with Alaves”. Now there is clarity and also great joy in the Kybunpark!

Demi is “fully motivated” to finish the season. The Espen top scorer (9 goals, 5 assists) is not only an indispensable part of the team from a sporting point of view, he has also found his place in the team on a human level. Or as Coach Peter Zeidler describes it: “He feels like a fish in the water with the others and would like to stay here.”

The German Bosnian comes to the FCSG in September 2019 and hits like a bomb. He scored nine goals and four assists in 16 games. No wonder he is fueling increasing interest internationally. Bundesliga clubs like Leverkusen, Freiburg or Leipzig, St. Étienne from French Ligue 1 and more recently Italy’s Sampdoria Genoa are said to be interested in him. And let’s not forget the eastern Swiss themselves.

“It is our great wish to keep Demi,” says Zeidler. “We are also ready to borrow it again or even buy it.” Does Alaves play there? Demirovic’s development in aspens is impressive. Why should the Spaniards take this talent?

As of today, it is not yet possible to answer question number two as to whether the Bosnian-born will keep the aspens in the next season. One thing is clear, however, according to sporting director Sutter: “It’s our turn and we’ll see how it comes out.” “Because,” the 52-year-old continues, “as long as the ink is not dry, there is no use speculating.”
