The Verde Report: Austin FC Gives Osman Bukari SoCo Welcome, Announces CB Signing
Austin FC rolled out the Verde carpet Tuesday afternoon for designated player and club-record signing Osman Bukari at the Continental Club on South Congress.
Austin FC represents the latest chapter in Bukari’s young career that has already included stops in six countries, from his native Ghana, to Belgium, to Slovakia, France, Serbia, and now the United States. According to an Austin FC source, both LA Galaxy and the Chicago Fire approached Crvena zvezda during the winter with offers around 10 million euros for Bukari. However, the Serbian champions were reluctant to sell a top player in the middle of their season .
Bukari won’t be eligible to appear for Austin FC in a match until the MLS summer transfer window officially opens on July 18. The same goes for the club’s other two midseason signings: Danish fullback Mikkel Desler and the latest acquisition, Ukrainian center back Oleksandr Svatok.
