Douglas Owusu: Viktoria Plzeň linked with move for Red Star winger

Viktoria Plzeň have been linked with a move for Red Star right winger Douglas Owusu in a deal that could hinge on his contract situation in Serbia.

The 20-year-old, who holds both Ghanaian and Serbian nationality, is currently on the books at Red Star Belgrade, but his contract details are unclear, with no expiry date listed. That has fuelled speculation that the attacker could become a free agent or be available for a relatively low fee, despite a reported market valuation of €2.50m on Transfermarkt.

Owusu, born on 10 April 2006 in Cape Coast, Ghana, is a left-footed right winger standing at 1.65m and wearing the number 35 shirt for Red Star. He is listed as playing in attack – predominantly on the right flank – and is part of the Super liga Srbije set-up with the Belgrade club.

The emerging interest from Viktoria Plzeň would see Owusu move from Serbia’s top flight to the Czech top tier, the Fortuna Liga. The current rumour, dated 17 May 2026, carries an unspecified probability (“?”), underlining that talks are at a speculative stage rather than an advanced negotiation.

No details have been reported about personal terms, potential transfer fee or whether Plzeň are targeting him as a permanent signing or waiting to see if he becomes a free agent should his contract situation at Red Star allow.

Owusu’s dual-national background and development in the Serbian system make him an intriguing prospect for Viktoria Plzeň as they look to add pace and width in advanced areas. If the move materialises, a switch from Red Star to the Czech club could mark a significant step in his career trajectory and shape his reputation as one of the more interesting young wide players emerging from the Balkan leagues.
