Club career

AS Trenčín

First European club in Osman Bukari's professional career was Slovakian side AS Trenčin.[3] Bukari joined them in July 2018 from Accra Lions in his homeland. In his two years in Slovakian football, Bukari was one of the best players in his team, playing 66 matches and recording 16 goals and 25 assists. In the 2019–20 season, he was officially Trenčin's best player and was inducted in the league's best XI.[4] He was also on the three-name shortlist for the best player of the season.

Gent

After his eye-catching performances in Slovakia, Belgian side KAA Gent signed Bukari[5] on 4 September 2020. After signing a three-year contract with Gent, Bukari quickly established himself as one of the first-team regulars. He played in the UEFA Europa League as Gent faced Hoffenheim,[6][7] Red Star Belgrade[8][9] and Slovan Liberec[10][11] in the group stage. He scored four goals and made six assists in 35 appearances for Gent.

Loan to Nantes

On 12 August 2021, French Ligue 1 outfit FC Nantes signed Bukari [12] on a season-long loan. The Ghanaian was a part of the team that won Coupe de France, the fourth in club's history, and secured European qualification after a 21-year-long wait.

Red Star Belgrade

Serbian champions Red Star Belgrade signed Bukari[13][14] on 21 June 2022 in a deal worth €3 million. He made his club debut against Radnički Niš[15] and got on the scoresheet in the same match. He was man of the match with three goals in an assist in Red Star Belgrade's UEFA Champions League qualifying match against Pyunik,[16] in which the Serbian team won 5–0. Bukari scored one of the best goals seen in Eternal derby when he scored with a fine left-footed volley in Red Star Belgrade's 1–1 draw at rivals Partizan.[17]

International career

Bukari made his Ghana bow on 25 March 2021 against South Africa[18] in an Africa Cup of Nations qualifying match. Good performances on the club level for FC Nantes and Red Star Belgrade earned him a Black Stars recall and he's been a regular for the national team since March 2022. He scored his first goal for his country on 1 June 2022 in an AFCON qualifier against Madagascar.[19] Bukari has been called up by national coach Otto Addo to represent the Black Stars in the 2022 World Cup.[20]
