Myrto Uzuni has finished with Granada and will continue his career with the Austin team. Only the formalization and presentation are missing, but the red and black striker can already be called a player of the American team.

Austin has decided to pay the €12 million release clause that Myrto Uzuni had in his Granada contract. This considerable sum has been a strategic move, which has left the Spanish side without many options to keep the player.

The move comes after a period of tension between Uzun and the Iberian club, as the player sought a review of the financial terms of his contract. After Granada refused to meet his demands, the player reacted by not attending training sessions, a clear message of his desire to continue his career elsewhere.

This transfer seems like a solution that satisfies all the actors involved. Granada will collect a significant sum of 12 million euros, which will help them improve the team and its financial stability. On the other hand, Austin gains a high-caliber player who is expected to make a difference in MLS, while Uzuni fulfills his desire for a bigger contract.

The agreement provides for a three-year contract for the Albanian, with a salary of 3 million euros per season, a reward that reflects his continued growth as a footballer and the contribution he is expected to make to the new team.

Uzun's departure from Granada is undoubtedly a big loss for the Spanish club, as the Albanian striker was one of the most important players this season. He ends his adventure at Granada with 14 goals this season, being the team's top scorer. More than that, Uzun wrote history as the foreign footballer with the most goals in the history of the Spanish club.

Austin, one of the rising clubs in MLS, is looking to consolidate its position and compete at a higher level. Myrto Uzuni is seen as a key element in that objective, given his ability to score goals and create attacking plays. With his speed, accuracy and experience gained in Spain, he is expected to be a key player in the American team's attack.
