The following month, Levski Sofia confirmed the signing of Buș as a free agent.{{Cite web|url=https://www.sportal.bg/news.php?news=667279|title=Сделката е факт!

Buș was re-signed by Gaz Metan Mediaș for the 2019–20 Liga I season, and managed to score ten goals from 30 games in the competition, which inspired a move to FCSB.{{Cite web|url=https://www.fcsb.ro/ro/stiri/stire-bine-ai-venit-sergiu-bu/|title=Bine ai venit, Sergiu Buș!|trans-title=Welcome, Sergiu Buș!|publisher=FCSB|language=ro|date=14 July 2020|accessdate=14 December 2021}}
