This week, multiple reports indicated that Buchanan’s rumoured switch from Belgium’s Club Brugge to top Serie A club Inter Milan via transfer is inching closer to reality.
According to European soccer insider Fabrizio Romano, Buchanan’s former club will receive €7 million, plus add-ons.

Once the deal is announced, the full-back (and occasional midfielder) will become the first Canadian to ever play in Serie A.
Buchanan has been a member of Belgium’s Club Brugge since Summer 2021, finishing out that season on loan to his now former MLS club, the New England Revolution.
The Brampton, Ontario, native was initially drafted ninth overall by New England in the 2019 MLS SuperDraft. After three seasons, including a loan stint back from Club Brugge in 2021, he made the permanent leap to Europe in January 2022.
