Austin FC Signs Myrto Uzuni in Club-Record $12.3 Million Deal

Austin FC has made a significant move by signing Albanian forward Myrto Uzuni from Granada CF for a club-record transfer fee of approximately $12.3 million. The 29-year-old joins as a designated player under a three-year contract, with an option for an additional year, and is expected to enhance the team's attacking capabilities following a disappointing previous season. Uzuni comes with a solid track record, having scored 49 goals in 106 matches with Granada, including 14 goals in 18 appearances this season. Sporting director Rodolfo Borrell expressed excitement over Uzuni’s prolific scoring ability and versatility. In his statement, Uzuni emphasized his ambition to help the team achieve its goals and indicated a commitment to breaking records with Austin FC. This acquisition marks a continued investment in player talent by Austin, which has reportedly spent over $29 million on new designated players in recent months.
