Xherdan Shaqiri
33-Year-Old
FC Basel
Joins Basel
Shaqiri has joined Basel out of free agency, according to his new club.
ANALYSIS
Shaqiri has finally chosen his new club after departing Chicago, with the rumors of him returning to his home country coming to fruition after he linked up with Basel. This likely will be a resting place for the 32-year-old until he ends his career, having played a long and illustrious career throughout Europe and the United States. He should see starting time regularly with his new club, coming in as one of their higher-rated players.
