BASEL, Switzerland (AP) - Switzerland captain Alexander Frei has completed his transfer to FC Basel, the club said on its official Web site Sunday.
The 30-year-old striker signed a three-year contract after Basel reportedly paid German club Borussia Dortmund €4.25 million ($6 million) to bring back a player who spent three years at St. Jakob Park as a teenager.
Frei is Switzerland's record national team scorer with 39 goals in 67 international matches.
He spent three seasons with Dortmund and previously played for French club Rennes.
