Meyer played there until January 2023, where he - according to media reports - he turned down several offers from Italian clubs to move to Lyngby Boldklub on a contract until June 2023. [2]

19-year-old Meyer spent the first six months with the club's U-19 team, but was also selected for a Danish Superliga match in May, where he had to stay on the bench for the entire match.

On 6 August 2023, Meyer made his official debut for Lyngby, coming on for the final few minutes of the 4–1 win over FC Midtjylland in the Danish Superliga. [5] [6]

On August 1, 2024, in search of more playing time, Meyer was loaned out to newly promoted Danish 1st Division club Esbjerg fB for the entire 2024-25 season. [7]
