Zurich rebuffed over Karim Konaté
Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Red Bull Salzburg have kept their man, and Zurich go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Zurich go back to the board over Cyrill May
The number the board signed off was not enough. It has been asked again and raised its own offer to $90.0K — a club that wants Cyrill May enough to be asked twice.

No end in sight to Zurich's wait for a win
4 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Zurich has to find a result from somewhere.

A falling-out at Zurich
Bledian Krasniqi and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Zurich baulk at the price for Betim Fazliji
St. Gallen wanted more than $320.0K and the board would not go there. Walked away, for now, which in a transfer window means until somebody blinks.

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.
Match22 Aug 2026
A bad afternoon for Zurich against Lugano
0‑1 to Lugano, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.
The dugout24 Aug 2026
Christian Okafor answers for it
“The supporters are entitled to be angry. So am I. We will put it right.” 0‑1, a manager saying the necessary things, and a dressing room that heard a different version of them.

Nobody could get near Kevin Spadanuda
Successful dribbles: 15. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.
In brief
- Market Zurich buy the years ahead of Cyrill May
- Squad Djibril Embolo stays put
- The dugout The manager makes an example of Kevin Spadanuda
