In February 2022, Sporting Kansas City acquired striker Nikola Vujnovic on loan from Serbian side FK Vozdovac with an option to buy the player at the end of the 2022 MLS season. Vujnovic, one of the Serbian SuperLiga’s top scorers and a member of the Montenegro Men’s National Team, will join Sporting on the heels of a career season at Vozdovac, where he tallied 10 goals and an assist during the 2021-22 campaign. A native of Cetinje, Montenegro, Vujnovic has bagged 16 goals and added three assists for Vozdovac over the last two seasons. He previously spent the 2019-20 campaign with FK Podgorica in the top-flight Montenegrin First League, where he notched seven goals. Vujnovic began his professional career by signing for Serbian club Radnicki Obrenovac and making his Serbian SuperLiga debut on loan at FK Rad as a 17-year-old in November 2014. He joined Spanish La Liga side Villarreal in early 2015 and featured regularly for Villarreal C from 2015-2018 and Villarreal B from 2018-2019, recording 12 goals in 64 appearances across both teams. On the international stage, Vujnovic represented Montenegro at the U-17 through U-21 levels from 2013-2017 before landing his senior debut on Oct. 7, 2020, in a friendly against Latvia. He has five senior caps, including three in qualifying matches for the 2022 FIFA World Cup, including a 2-2 draw against the Netherlands on Nov. 13, 2021, where Vujnovic opened his Montenegro scoring account with an 86th-minute equalizer.

Central midfielder Remi Walter signed with Sporting KC in December 2020, having amassed nearly 200 professional appearances since 2012, spanning seven full seasons in his native France and one season in Turkey. He boasts experience in several prestigious European competitions, including the UEFA Europa League, UEFA Champions League qualifying, French Ligue 1 and the Turkish Super Lig. A native of Essey-les-Nancy, Walter developed in Nancy’s youth academy before joining the first team as an 18-year-old in 2013. He became a regular starter in the early stages of the 2013-14 season and spent the next two and a half years as an integral midfield contributor for the side before being transferred to French title contender Nice in early 2016. Walter helped the club to a fourth-place finish as well as qualification to the 2016-17 UEFA Europa League. The following season, he made 26 appearances as Nice took another step forward by placing third in Ligue 1 and booking a spot in the 2017-18 UEFA Champions League. Walter split the 2017-18 campaign between Nice and Troyes on loan, before returning to Nice in the summer of 2018. Walter transferred to Turkish first division outfit Yeni Malatyaspor in January of 2020 before departing later that summer. On the international stage, Walter was a French youth international who participated in a number of high-profile tournaments, namely the 2012 UEFA U-17 Championship in Slovenia and qualifying for the 2017 UEFA U-21 Championship in Poland.
