Demirovic's sophomore season with the Fuggerstädter has seen him net eight league goals and pocket five assists in 17 league appearances. In the process, the former Freiburg attacker has pumped his estimated market worth up to a career-high €20 million in the latest transfermarkt update. As part of the story quotes current FCA trainer Jess Thorup as being "hopeful" that Demirovic will opt to stay.
If nothing else, Demirovic will certainly seek to secure a pay-raise for himself through the negotiation of a new contract. His present deal in the Fuggerstadt runs through the end of the 2025/26 season and has not been altered since he joining from Freiburg on a free in the summer of 2020. At that time, the striker was considered worth a mere €6 million.
