Bangladesh national football team captain Jamal Bhuiyan has signed for Abahani for the rest of the Bangladesh Premier League 2024 season, the club’s acting director Kazi Nabil Ahmed confirmed to The Daily Star on Tuesday.

Sol de Mayo will play their next match on September 9, while Jamal will be back in Bangladesh on Wednesday to join the camp for next month's FIFA friendlies against Afghanistan.

Bangladesh national football team's head coach Javier Cabrera has praised captain Jamal Bhuiyan's move to Argentine club football, calling it a good move for Bangladesh and the player.

Although the term of Jamal’s contract was not confirmed, Sol De Mayo informed that they would release Jamal for his national duty.     

“I am in touch with Sol de Mayo and I’m trying to go to Argentina in May,” Jamal told The Daily Star in Sylhet on Monday, ahead of the second FIFA friendly against Seychelles. “I don’t want to waste the opportunity to play in Argentina.” 

Even though Jamal initially denied the report, he admitted to The Daily Star on Tuesday that that he did get an offer from Sol De Mayo. However, his contract with Sheikh Russel is apparently a barrier in accepting the offer.
