Sahal’s deal to be biggest in transfer history
Since the Kerala Blasters are least interested in selling the midfielder. Therefore, a very large fee for the transfer will be necessary to get Sahal. The 26-year-old has a pen-to-paper deal with the Kerala Blasters until 2025. There are rumours regarding a possible swap between Sahal and Pritam Kotal including the transfer fee. Mohun Bagan determined to rope in Sahal, if the swap deals falls off, then Sahal’s deal is to be the biggest deal in transfer history. If the deal succeeds, Mohun Bagan would possess the top two midfielders in India, Sahal Abdul Samad and Anirudh Thapa.
Sahal, if becomes a part of Mohun Bagan’s midfield, he will be playing alongside an exceptional lineup of players such as Anirudh Thapa, Hugo Boumous, Glan Martins, Carl McHugh, Puitea, among others. It will be interesting to see how far Juan Ferrando can take this team in the AFC Cup.
Finally, we wish Sahal a very happy married life!
