According to local journalists, the transfer fee for the Ghanaian from Austin was five million euros. Tom Bogert had previously suggested a higher amount of 6.5 million dollars, which is equivalent to 5.55 million euros. The MLS website reported 6.5 million dollars, but this is noted to be a reference to earlier reports, primarily by Bogert, rather than an official report. The amount remains open, as a percentage from a future sale was also involved.

Widzew Lodz officially announced that Osman Bukari has become a new player for the club. Bukari signed a contract with the club until 2030. According to journalist Szymon Janczyk, Widzew was to spend as much as 5 million euro to acquire Osman Bukari. Dariusz Adamczuk from Widzew Lodz said that Bukari had been observed by many clubs from all over Europe, including Widzew.

According to Tomasz Włodarczyk from Meczyki.pl, Osman Bukari will join the team led by Igor Jovićević. The winger from Ghana is expected to cost approximately five million euros, which would be a new Ekstraklasa record. The most expensive signing in the Polish league is currently Mileta Rajović, for a total of three million euros.

Ghanaian international Osman Bukari, 27, is the likely subject of a record transfer being prepared by Widzew Łódź, as the player's name had previously appeared on social media in connection with the club. Separately, Widzew is set to break its transfer record this week by paying approximately five million euros for a new right winger. While the deal for Bukari, who currently plays for Austin, is not yet decided, Widzew is willing to pay that fee, which would break the record for the Polish league. Bukari, who has 19 caps and 3 goals for his country, joined the American club in July 2024 and is under contract until the end of 2027. Transfermarkt estimates his current market value to be €4.50m.
