XtraTime Web Desk: Situations take a dramatic turn, as Indian Football Team superstar Sandesh Jhingan parts ways with his ISL franchise Kerala Blasters. As expected, top ISL clubs like ATKFC and Mumbai City FC are now ready to pounce on the opportunity to sign the ace defender.
ATKFC, the current champions, are on the lookout for defensive signings. None of Agus, Jon Johnson and Victor Mongil have committed their future to the club, meaning that the Kolkata-based outfit could be on the hunt for a central defender of Jhingan’s class. It is learnt that the club has already shown their interest on Jhingan.
ATK would want to continue charting the upward trajectory they scaled in 2019-20, especially considering the merger with Mohun Bagan.
On the flip side, Mumbai City FC is primed to oversee a major overhaul after having been acquired by City Football Group during the 2019-20 ISL season.
To put things into further perspective, Sandesh Jhingan has previously shared the same space with other Mumbai City FC players when the former was undergoing rehabilitation during the 2019-20 ISL campaign.
In fact, the Islanders have also been in talks with Tiri as they hope to bolster their rear-guard and mount a sustained assault on the ISL title.
Mumbai City FC have been very active in the transfer window.
Apart from the Spaniard, Mumbai City FC have also been heavily linked with Ahmed Jahouh, Mandar Rao Dessai and Mourtada Fall, with Sergio Lobera also seemingly set to be handed the reins at the 2018-19 ISL semi-finalists.
Thus, at this juncture, it remains what the future holds for Sandesh Jhingan, although there seems to be no dearth of suitors for the Indian defender’s services.
