AUSTIN, Texas (AP) – Ghana international winger Osman Bukari will join Austin FC on a transfer from Red Star Belgrade, the Major League Soccer team announced Thursday.
Bukari, 25, joins Austin on a 3 1/2-year guaranteed contract as one of the team’s designated player signings, with an option through 2028. The move comes a week after Austin waived the designated Emiliano Rigoni and bought the remainder of the Argentine’s guaranteed contract of more than $2 million this season. Rigoni scored six goals in 51 games with Austin.
Bukari spent the last two seasons with Red Star Belgrade, scoring 25 goals and providing 20 assists as the club won the Serbian league and Serbian Cups. He also has three goals in 17 appearances for Ghana, including at the 2022 World Cup.
“Osman is a quick and technical winger with a proven ability to score goals and assists while competing at some of the highest levels of club football,” said Austin FC sporting director Rodolfo Borrell. “We are confident he will have an immediate impact for us.”
