Kosovan international Amir Saipi, 25, refused to travel to an away match after being demoted to second goalkeeper following the signing of David von Ballmoos as the new first-choice keeper. The club's management has stated that Saipi's future at Lugano is more uncertain than ever and that if he wants to be a clear first-choice goalkeeper again, he will likely need to find another club. His contract, originally expiring in summer 2025, has been extended to 2027. The club expects a professional attitude from him and is not currently focused on monetizing his transfer, but his situation is open for a possible move. According to Transfermarkt, the goalkeeper has a market value of €3.00m.
