Obvious move since Dani didn’t have an option, so he could leave on a free at the end of the season. BHI also doesn’t have an option, but not sure if anything will be done on his contract.
🟢🇻🇪 Sources: Austin FC has signed midfielder Dani Pereira to a new contract.

Huge for Austin as Pereira's current deal was set to expire at the end of the year.

Pereira, 25, was No. 1 overall SuperDraft pick in 2021, Austin's debut season. Has made 156 apps. Crucial player.

Have nothing bad to say about the Rosales signing and nothing particularly effusive either. A good floor-raising player — Austin’s backbone is better than ever. That’s where Rodo has been good. But with two DP strikers and no playmaker — the roster still needs tons of work.

Austin FC offseason (so far):
🇺🇸 CB Jon Bell (28) (MLS free agent) - 🇯🇲 National Team
🇨🇦 Winger Jayden Nelson (23) (MLS GAM trade) - 🇨🇦 National Team
🇭🇳 Defender Joseph Rosales (25) (MLS cash trade) - 🇭🇳 National Team

If a rumored rule change happens for Jayden Nelson, no international slots used.

Rodo made a good deal, as per usual. Austin FC continues to be a very player-friendly team—volunteers, not hostages, as our old friend Mike Tomlin likes to say.
Sources: Widzew Lodz has signed winger Osman Bukari from Austin FC.

Austin receives around $6.5m + 20% sell on, I’m told.

Opens a DP spot too.
Sources: Austin FC are in talks to transfer Osman Bukari to Widzew Lodz.

Bukari, 27, has 4g/9a in 42 apps with Austin after joining in deal worth around $7m. Departure would open a DP spot.
