Austin FC has made a strategic decision regarding its roster by waiving and exercising a buyout of the guaranteed contract for forward Gyasi Zardes. This move, announced on Monday, means Zardes will no longer be part of the senior roster. Consequently, his salary will not impact the club's budget for 2025.
The transaction was officially recorded on December 9, 2024. This action reflects Austin FC's ongoing efforts to manage its team structure and financial commitments effectively.
