Bosnian Kenan Bajramović will continue his career in Germany. The 28-year-old power forward confirmed he has a deal with former German champions Alba Berlin, despite offers from Spain (Unicaja Málaga) and Turkey (Türk Telekom Ankara), and will start working with his new team in September, as Bosnia did not manage to go through to the next stage in Eurobasket 2009 additional qualifying round. Bajramović described the move as "the best solution" for his career at the moment. Last season with the jersey of BC Kyiv, from which he was released because of financial problems, the Bosnian international averaged 11.6 points and 6.4 rebounds in the EuroChallenge.

O extremo-poste de 28 anos confirmou que tem um acordo com o antigo campeão alemão Alba Berlim, apesar das propostas vindas de Espanha (Unicaja Málaga) e Turquia (Türk Telekom Ankara), e iniciará os trabalhos com a nova equipa em Setembro, já que a Bósnia falhou a passagem à próxima eliminatória da fase adicional de qualificação para o Eurobasket 2009. Bajramović descreveu a transferência como "a melhor solução" para o momento actual da sua carreira. Na época passada com a camisola do BC Kyiv, clube do qual foi dispensado devido a problemas financeiros, o internacional bósnio obteve médias de 11,6 pontos e 6,4 ressaltos na EuroChallenge.)
