During the 2021 season Buchanan's continued good form for the Revolution earned him a nomination to the MLS squad for the 2021 MLS All-Star Game in August 2021.[8]

Club Brugge

In August 2021, Buchanan signed a 3 and a half year deal with Belgian First Division A champions Club Brugge. Buchanan was loaned back to New England Revolution for the remainder of the 2021 MLS season.[9][10] He made his debut for Brugge against Sint-Truiden on January 15, 2022.[11] Buchanan scored his first goal for Brugge on April 24 against Antwerp.[12]
