Poland qualified for the World Cup this fall and Buksa should be on their list. Buksa arrived in New England as a 2020 $4 million Designated Player from Ekstraklasa side Pogoń Szczecin.

He was most heavily linked with Serie B side Pisa (Italy), although the numbers were well below the leaked reported $9.5 deal.
ESPN’s Taylor Twellman reported on the Atlanta United v New England broadcast last weekend that French clubs are eyeing Buksa this summer. Twellman also reported this winter that the Revs were looking for $10-15 million for the star forward.
Buksa, 25, has scored in each of his last five league appearances and is 6g/2a in nine appearances (eight starts) this season. With Poland, he has five goals from seven caps and was named on their latest list for Nations League matches in June.
