On Tuesday, Red Bull New York officially loaned forward Wiktor Bogacz to Polish side KS Cracovia.

The Wiktor Bogacz saga at Red Bull New York has been weird.
From turning down the organization by saying “it’s not you, it’s me”. To then coming over. Being a good but inconsistent piece. And now he heads back to Europe.
Personally, wishing him the best. #RBNY
