Austin FC announces a multi-year contract extension with star midfielder Sebastián Driussi.
If there were any lingering worries over whether Austin FC would be able to do good business in the, the club put those concerns soundly to bed Tuesday by announcing a multi-year contract extension with star midfielder Sebastián Driussi through the 2025 season, with an option for 2026.
Driussi’s devastating combination of spectacular on-ball quality and savvy off-ball movement has earned him practically universal recognition as one of the very best players in MLS. As part of his new deal with ATXFC, per footy newsmanSebastián Driussi, pictured with his partner Vanesa and daughter Fran, will wear No. 10 for Austin FC in 2023
A well-earned pay bump, especially one that won’t have any salary cap ramifications for the rest of the roster , is a small price to pay for El Tree to lock up the franchise centerpiece through the remainder of his prime. And should Driussi’s talent continue to attract the attention of more potential suitors across the Atlantic, Tuesday’s contract extension would no doubt up any theoretical transfer fee into the range Austin FC could more easily live with.
If so, one man that stands to benefit is offseason free agent signing Gyasi Zardes, expected to serve as the club’s starting striker more times than not this year. A former MLS All Star with over 100 league and playoff goals to his name, Zardes admired Austin FC from afar last season and admitted to daydreaming about bagging goals atop the Verde’s high-octane attack. Of course, much of that had to do with Driussi. The early up-close impressions throughout preseason haven’t disappointed.
