The option of hiring a fourth import-player is still on the table for SC Bern, the Berner Zeitung reports. According to CEO Marc Lüthi, this would not change a lot from a financial point of view: "Our budget for the upcoming season includes a loss of CHF 5 million as well as the engagement of an additional import-player," he explains.
There is, however, still an alternative for an additional import-player: Joël Vermin. As the same source reports, the Bears have not yet given up on the idea of bringing their former youth player back to the capital city - almost seven years after he left them for North America.
