Mohun Bagan has won the League Shield in an emphatic manner, where, the Mariners have became the first club to retain the ISL League and reach the Half Centurions tag.
With this victory, Mohun Bagan have officially qualified for the AFC Champions League Two, and, the management will keep no stone unturned to have a balanced campaign in the competition.
MBFT understands, Mohun Bagan have already started thinking about the future and team building is in full flow, as, the Mariners are discussing with Jose Francisco Molina about a contract extension. As we exclusively reported earlier, Molina has an extension clause in the contract, and, if everything goes by the plan, it is imminent that his contract will be renewed.
Coach Jose will be heavily involved in the team building, and, Mohun Bagan are set to retain the same squad, where Tom Aldred is expected to sign an One year extension to his current deal, whereas, his defensive partner Alberto Rodriguez will be offered a long term contract by the club.
In attack, Jamie Maclaren is staying as he has 3 more years in his deal, and, Jason Cummings is also expected to stay as of now. Bagan's shield winning hero Dimitri DimiGod Petratos has contract valid till 2026, but, he has some interests in the market, mainly a club from Australia.
Mohun Bagan surprised everyone by signing Greg Stewart, when, the Scottish magician signed a One year contract with the club, but, as per current scenario, MBFT understands, there is a high possibility, Greg might not continue his football career in India.
Mohun Bagan are after a foreign playmaker (not necessarily a CAM) in the market, and, they have some names, which can elevate the squad for the next season. Mohun Bagan are after a big profile in the market, and, they have another Brazilian, who is shortlisted for the same position.
Mohun Bagan are in the market for some domestic defensive reinforcements; Punjab FC's Pramveer Singh and Mumbai City FC's Mehtab Singh are two names to keep an eye on, though, nothing is advanced at this stage.
On the other hand, Mohun Bagan are after a versatile sideback, who can operate in both sides and also can play as a wingback and occasionally as a Winger too. The player is an Indian International, and, hails from one of the best academies of India. MBFT can confirm, Mohun Bagan has made this signing a priority in the market, and we will reveal his name once the ISL is over.
