Freiburg confirm Burkart's permanent departure
SC Freiburg confirmed the permanent departure of once-heralded attacking prospect Nishan Burkart on Tuesday evening.
The experienced Swiss youth international's hoped-for development nevertheless never materialized. Burkart managed to make 24 league appearances for the nearly-relegated Swiss club this past season, scoring three goals and providing an assist. The Aarau native still had to spend some time with the reserves.
No information as to how much Freiburg gained on the sale is available at this time. The Breisguaer did pocket €25,000 in loan fees as part of last summer's deal. Burkart's new contract with his new club runs through 2027. He made just one appearance for the Freiburg senior side near the end of the 2020/21 campaign.
Nishan Burkart wechselt fest zum FC Winterthur. Der 23-Jährige spielte bereits in der vergangenen Saison auf Leihbasis beim Schweizer Erstligisten. Wir wünschen dir für die Zukunft nur das Beste, Nishan!
