What happened
Union Berlin have added Kastriot Imeri to their squad, bringing the Swiss midfielder over from FC Thun. The move represents a step up for Imeri, who moves from the Swiss Super League to the Bundesliga. Thun's coach Mauro Lustrinelli loses one of his key attacking options as the transfer window progresses. Imeri will be expected to add creativity and depth to Union Berlin's midfield options for the season ahead.
Chance analysis
Imeri arrives at Union Berlin as an attacking addition from the Swiss top flight, a market Union have scouted productively in recent windows. The Swiss Super League has become a familiar pipeline for Bundesliga sides seeking affordable, technically solid talent, and Imeri fits that profile. For Thun, losing a creative midfielder mid-window forces Lustrinelli to reorganise, while Union gain a player capable of operating in advanced midfield roles. The move is modest in scale but meaningful for squad depth at the Stadion An der Alten Försterei.
Union Berlin gain an attacking midfield option with Bundesliga upside; Thun lose a key creative player ahead of their Swiss Super League campaign.
