Sani Buhari has left FC Pyunik Yerevan and is now a free agent after his contract with the Armenian Premier League club came to an end, confirming his registration as “Without Club.” The Nigeria international winger departs Pyunik with no transfer fee involved, ending his spell in Armenia and immediately entering the market with a current estimated value of €125,000.
The move is formally recorded as a transfer from Pyunik Yerevan to “Without Club,” underlining that the 22-year-old left-sided attacker is unattached and available on a free. No contract start or end date has been announced with any new employer, and there is no indication in the available data of an agreed deal elsewhere, meaning Buhari is free to negotiate with interested sides.
Buhari’s latest switch closes a chapter that began when he joined Pyunik from fellow Armenian outfit FC Van. He had previously made the move from Nigerian academy Right2Win Sports Academy to Van, stepping out of his home country’s football structure to build a professional career abroad. During his time in Armenia, he competed in the nation’s top tier, the Premier League, first with Van and then with Pyunik, gaining experience in a European environment far from his birthplace of Zaria.
Primarily deployed as a left winger but listed broadly as an attacking player, Buhari is a right-footed wide option who operates from the left flank. Standing 1.73 metres tall, he fits the profile of a low-centre-of-gravity winger expected to rely on mobility and technical ability. His market value rose sharply in his early period at FC Van, jumping from €10,000 shortly after his 2022 arrival in Armenia to €125,000 by the end of that year, reflecting a rapid appreciation in his perceived potential.
That valuation later climbed further to €150,000 during his spell at Pyunik, before easing back to €125,000 shortly before his release. The most recent figure of €125,000, logged while he was still on the books of Pyunik, now effectively becomes the reference point for any club considering signing him as a free agent.
Born on 10 Jan 2004 and now 22, Buhari has spent his entire professional career outside Nigeria’s domestic league structure, building a CV that already includes multiple seasons in the Armenian Premier League. His journey from Lagos-based academy football to Armenia’s top flight, via FC Van and then Pyunik, outlines a clear pattern: he has consistently been willing to step abroad and adapt to new footballing and cultural environments.
With his registration now officially “Without Club,” Buhari’s next move will determine the direction of his career at a pivotal age. Any new contract elsewhere would mark another step in his ongoing attempt to translate early potential and a solid market valuation into long-term stability and progression at club level.
