His Basel debut came on 9 August 2008 in a 4–0 win over FC Vaduz at St. Jakob-Park, in which he got on the score-sheet twice. He made first European appearance in a Basel shirt on 13 August 2008 as a substitute in a 0–0 Champions League Qualifying match draw against Vitória S.C. at Estádio D. Afonso Henriques.
On 11 October 2009, FC Basel announced they had loaned Mustafi to FC Aarau until 30 June 2010. After one season in Aarau, Mustafi returned to Basel only to be loaned out again, this time to German second division club Arminia Bielefeld.

Famous quotes containing the word career:
“A black boxer’s career is the perfect metaphor for the career of a black male. Every day is like being in the gym, sparring with impersonal opponents as one faces the rudeness and hostility that a black male must confront in the United States, where he is the object of both fear and fascination.”
—Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
“Work-family conflicts—the trade-offs of your money or your life, your job or your child—would not be forced upon women with such sanguine disregard if men experienced the same career stalls caused by the-buck-stops-here responsibility for children.”
—Letty Cottin Pogrebin (20th century)
“I’ve been in the twilight of my career longer than most people have had their career.”
—Martina Navratilova (b. 1956)
