Austin FC Sporting Director Rodolfo Borrell has declined to comment on the potential transfer of Red Star Belgrade winger Osman Bukari to the MLS club.

The Black Stars winger has drawn attention following an impressive season with the Serbian club, leading to reports that he is close to joining Austin FC. However, when questioned about the rumored transfer, Borrell remained tight-lipped. “I’m not involved in any social media, but sometimes they write things like, for example, and one time I remember that we were linked to Thiago Silva from Chelsea,” Borrell said. “The reality [is] I’m not going to comment on a player that doesn’t belong to Austin FC.”

Bukari, 25, has been instrumental in Red Star Belgrade’s success this season, with seven goals and five assists in 24 league games during the 2023-2024 season.

Currently, Austin FC is third in the Western Conference standings with six wins, four losses, and four draws. The team is preparing for a crucial match against the San Jose Earthquakes on Sunday, May 26.

As the transfer window nears, fans and analysts will be closely monitoring any developments regarding Bukari’s potential move, which could significantly enhance Austin FC’s attacking lineup.
