Scianitti notes that both teams have submitted bids to the Revs for the winger, who had a breakout Gold Cup and was named to the tournament's Best XI.
In his third pro season out of Syracuse, Buchanan was named an MLS All-Star earlier this week.
Club Brugge finished atop the Belgian First Division A last season for their 17th domestic title and will play in this season's Champions League.
Augsburg are coming off of 13th-place finish in the Bundesliga last season.
The new season for the First Division A kicked off in late July, while Augsburg gets its league campaign underway on August 14 with a visit from Hoffenheim.
