With the addition of Sadiku, Mohun Bagan will now have a lethal attacking lineup with Hugo Boumous and Dimitri Petratos already in their ranks. The club is also likely to rope in A-League’s (Australia’s top-tier) Central Coast forward Jason Cummings.
“We now have good idea about Indian football in Spain. So when they approached me, I looked for the league and the club, and it just took me seven days to give my consent,” Sadiku said.
“Mohun Bagan have a huge legacy in Indian football and I’m looking forward to play for them and play a role in their success.” A known name in the Spanish League, Sadiku last played for La Liga 2 side FC Cartagena and has a current market value of Rs 5.6 crore, according to ‘transfermarket’. Sadiku is believed to be a replacement for Mohun Bagan’s Finnish midfield maestro Joni Kauko who sustained an ACL injury in their match against FC Goa and was subsequently ruled out for the remainder of the season.
Sadiku has played 38 matches for his country Albania and scored 12 goals.
