Austin FC has finalized the acquisition of Albanian forward Myrto Uzuni for a record transfer fee of $12.3 million from Granada CF. This contract, lasting three years with an option through 2028, marks a significant investment for the club, highlighting its ambition. Uzuni, who has an impressive scoring record with 49 goals in 106 matches for Granada, emphasized his commitment to helping the team succeed. Sporting director Rodolfo Borrell praised Uzuni's scoring ability and versatility, while the transfer surpasses the previous record established earlier this offseason.
One of the main reasons I want to join Austin FC is the ambition that Anthony Precourt and Rodolfo Borrell have for this team, which matches my own ambition always to succeed with a winning mentality.
Myrto has shown himself to be a prolific goalscorer in every team and league where he has previously played. His high work rate during games, finishing ability, ambition, determination, and versatility to be able to play both centrally and in the wide areas will all be big assets.
I can tell Austin fans that I will do everything in my power to score goals and help the team push toward achieving our objectives. I'm coming here to break records.
Since turning pro in 2013, Uzuni has accumulated 126 goals and 42 assists over 322 matches in Albania, Croatia, Hungary and Spain.
