The Houston Dynamo acquired midfielder Mateusz Bogusz from Liga MX side Cruz Azul on Thursday.

The 24-year-old Polish international is under contract through 2027-28 with options through 2029-30.

Bogusz returns to MLS for a reported transfer fee of $10 million and will occupy a designated player roster spot.

'Mateusz is a versatile attacker entering the prime of his career who will immediately upgrade our attack this season,' said Dynamo president of soccer Pat Onstad. 'He is a good fit for our system, providing quality to finish attacks in a variety of ways, as well as a selfless defensive work ethic. Mateusz fits the mold of the players we are bringing to Houston -- a good professional who finds ways to win.'

Bogusz posted 24 goals and 19 assists in 90 appearances with Los Angeles FC during the 2023 and 2024 seasons.

He tallied three goals and seven assists in 39 matches with Cruz Azul, winning the 2025 Concacaf Champions Cup.

'Everyone at the club is excited to welcome Mateusz to Houston as we continue building a team capable of competing at the highest level in 2026,' said Dynamo head coach Ben Olsen. 'He's a proven MLS attacker with the quality and mentality to change games, and we look forward to seeing Mateusz play in front of our fans at Shell Energy Stadium soon.'

The Dynamo open the 2026 MLS regular season at home against the Chicago Fire on Feb. 21.
