The promising young player, who previously captained the Flying Eagles under Bosso’s guidance, has confirmed ongoing negotiations with the Bayelsa-based club but emphasized that the transfer is still a work in progress.
Bameyi’s rise to prominence came under Bosso’s mentorship, where he demonstrated his versatility on the field, playing as a right-back, right wing-back, and right center-back.
His leadership during the U-20 AFCON tournament, where Nigeria secured a third-place finish, caught the attention of clubs across the country.
Now, as Bosso returns to domestic football in his managerial role at Bayelsa United, the potential reunion between the coach and his former protégé has stirred excitement among fans and football analysts alike.
Bosso is renowned for his strategic approach to the game and his ability to nurture young talent, a reputation solidified during his tenure with the Nigeria Football Federation.
His return to Bayelsa United, the 2009 Nigerian Premier League champions, marks a significant step in his career, and the possible acquisition of Bameyi could further strengthen the team’s lineup for the upcoming Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) season.
Currently training with the team, Bameyi has acknowledged the rumors but noted that no official statement has been released regarding his transfer. Both the player and the club remain optimistic, with negotiations reportedly in advanced stages.
Should the deal be finalized, Bameyi’s experience under Bosso’s tutelage is expected to be a significant asset as Bayelsa United aims to make a strong impact in the league.
*”The relationship I have with Coach Bosso has shaped my career, and reuniting with him at Bayelsa United feels like the right step forward,”* Bameyi shared, reflecting on the potential move.
Fans eagerly await the official announcement, hopeful that this partnership will bring success to the club.
