Kolkata: Kolkata giants Mohun Bagan gets a huge boost ahead of the forthcoming I-League 2017/18 season, as Haitian superstar Sony Norde signs a deal with the Green & Maroon Brigade for next season. Sony himself gave the good news to the millions of Mohun Bagan fans through his official Facebook account today. The post read: “Very happy to sing one more saison for MOHUN BAGAN AC ….⚽️.”

Earlier www.xtratime.in revealed it last Thursday that both Sony and Mohun Bagan officials have finally come to an agreement on the personal terms, that the player, who has been an instrumental figure for Mohun Bagan’s success in the last few seasons, will play for Mohun Bagan only.

Sony reportedly had some personal fight with his former ISL franchise Mumbai City FC Head Coach Alexandre Guimarães and thus was reluctant to sign for them despite the strong interest from the club. Later, new ISL franchise Jamshedpur FC showed a lot of interest and ‘almost’ signed him for the next season. Then came the Mohun Bagan officials. Their efficiency and desperation forced Sony to think in a different way.

No doubt, this has indeed been a huge success for the Bagan officials off the field and could turn out to be a master-stroke for the forthcoming season.
