BucheonFC's 'ace' Bassani of the professional football K League 1 will continue to wear the Bucheon uniform.

On the 7th, Bucheon officially announced, "We will continue our journey with Bassani through the 2028 season. He led the club to its first-ever promotion to K League 1 and is currently serving as a key attacker for the team."

Although various transfer rumors have circulated in the past, Bassani's choice was to remain with Bucheon.

Bassani displayed a strong presence from his first season with Bucheon in 2024. He appeared in 35 league matches, recording 11 goals and 7 assists to lead the team's attack, and ranked first overall with 10 selections as the Match of the Most Outstanding Player (MOM) in K League 2 matches.

In the 2025 season, he took another step up. He recorded 14 goals and 6 assists in 35 league matches and added 2 goals and 1 assist in three promotion playoff matches. He played a decisive role in Bucheon achieving its first-ever promotion to K League 1 since its founding.

This season as well, Bassani is continuing his role as the center of Bucheon's attack while serving as vice-captain.

On September 19 against Kim Cheon (SVP), he also set a meaningful record by making his 100th career appearance for Bucheon. Additionally, while consistently accumulating attacking points in the Bucheon uniform, he is setting new records for the most attacking points in club history.

The trust of Bucheon manager Lee Young-min is also firm. The manager emphasized, "Bassani is an irreplaceable core player who injects great synergy into the team both on and off the field," adding that he "will be a great help in Bucheon settling into K League 1 and moving toward higher goals."

Bassani's love for Bucheon is evident not only in his performance but also in his actions.

He got a tattoo of 'VAMO BASSANI,' the fans' cheering chant, on his arm. He has also shown a special bond with fans by wearing an armband personally delivered by the supporters' group Hermes during matches.

Bassani said, "Because it is a precious support created by the fans, it was significant enough to be inked onto my skin," adding, "I sincerely thank the fans who always send unwavering support and trust."

He continued, "I am very happy and delighted to continue our journey with Bucheon once again," stating his resolve that "the history we are writing is not yet over. We will bring even greater joy to you, the fans, in the future."
