New England Revolution sell Adam Buksa to Lens for reported $10m

Between three major sales, the Revs have now generated around $24 million in less than a year

The New England Revolution have agreed to transfer striker Adam Buksa to Ligue 1 side RC Lens, the MLS club announced on Tuesday.

New England did not disclose the transfer fee, but the Boston Globe reported that the figure was $10 million.

That represents a healthy profit on the reported $4.5 million the Revs paid in late 2019 to acquire Buksa from Polish side Pogoń Szczecin.

Since Buksa’s arrival he has become one of the top strikers in MLS, scoring 29 goals and adding eight assists in 64 total league appearances.

The 25-year-old also became a Poland international during his time with the Revs, and has now scored five goals in eight appearances as he chases a roster spot for the 2022 World Cup.

Another major sale for the Revs

The Revolution won the MLS Supporters’ Shield in 2021, setting a new league record by amassing 73 points.

Since then, the Revs have made three major sales of players who were key to the team’s success last season.

Canadian star Tajon Buchanan joined Belgian power Club Brugge after last season, while goalkeeper Matt Turner will soon depart for Arsenal.

Buchanan and Turner each cost a reported $7 million, meaning the Revs have now secured around $24 million in transfer fees in less than a year.

Prediction

Montreal 2, New England 2

Moneyline (ML)

Montreal (+250) edged New England (+100) by a 2-1 count Feb. 29 before the pause button was pressed due to the COVID-19 global pandemic situation. Now, they’ll square off in the bubble in Orlando. The difference here is that the Revolution will have a full cadre of DPs with F Gustavo Bou, F Adam Buksa and MF Carles Gil available for the first time. That will tip the scales more in their favor in a match which should see plenty of action. TIE (+275) IS THE BEST BET. Also, if this match were to end up 2-2, betting that for the “Correct Score” returns a healthy +1150.

A winning $10 wager on Montreal and New England settling for a draw nets a profit of $27.50. A $10 wager on the Correct Score ending up 2-2 nets a profit of $111.50 – basically, every $1 wager that wins will profit $11.50.

Over/Under (O/U)

OVER 3.5 (+150) could be quite the value here. The Impact were averaging 2.0 goals per match before the pause, while allowing 1.5 goals per match. The Revs netted two total goals while also allowing 1.5 goals per match. While I expect some clubs to start slow in the bubble, these sides are relatively healthy and could get off to a quick start. Over 2.5 (-162) is a safer play, and will cost you a lot more juice, but should be a slam-dunk play as well.
