DE CARVALHO AND STROSCIO EXTEND CONTRACT UNTIL 2025

Grasshopper Club Zurich is pleased to announce that it has extended contracts with 18-year-old players Filipe de Carvalho and Simone Stroscio. Both players, who are being gradually integrated into the first-team squad, had signed their first professional contract with GC Zürich in 2021. Now they have extended their cooperation with the Zurich club early until 2025.

At the age of 12, Filipe de Carvalho joined the youth academy of Grasshopper Club Zürich in early 2016. The now 18-year-old left winger developed through all levels of the GC youth academy from U13 to U21. De Carvalho made his professional debut with Grasshopper Club Zürich at the age of 17 in the Challenge League match against FC Winterthur last season. This season he collected his first Super League appearance for the Hoppers, as he came off the bench in the Zurich derby in early February.

In January 2021, de Carvalho signed his first professional contract with Grasshopper Club Zurich. Now the 18-year-old has extended his contract until the end of the 2025 season.

Along with him, midfielder Simone Stroscio has also signed a contract extension until 2025. Stroscio joined the GC youth academy in the U8 and has now been with Grasshopper Club Zürich for around 10 years. The 18-year-old defensive midfielder, who played 12 games for the U21s this season, regularly trains with Giorgio Contini's squad and was part of the squad in several Super League matches.

Technical Director Seyi Olofinjana said: "We are proud to have extended the contracts with two more young talents ahead of schedule. De Carvalho and Stroscio have made great progress this season and we will try to continue to develop them in the best possible way so that they can become important players for our first team in the future.”

Grasshopper Club Zurich is pleased to extend its collaboration with two homegrown talents and wishes them every success in the current season.
