In a major transfer move, Mohun Bagan Super Giant have agreed to swap Pritam Kotal with Kerala Blasters’ Sahal Abdul Samad. The deal, which is reportedly worth around ₹3.25 crores, will see Kotal join Kerala Blasters on a three-year contract, while Samad will move to Mohun Bagan on a five-year deal.
Pritam Kotal Joins Kerala Blasters in Swap Deal
Kotal, who has been with Mohun Bagan since 2017, is one of the most experienced defenders in the Indian Super League (ISL). He has made over 100 appearances for the club, and was named captain in 2021. Samad, on the other hand, is a young midfielder who has been with Kerala Blasters since 2017. He has made over 90 appearances for the club, and is known for his creativity and dribbling skills.
The swap deal is a major coup for both clubs. Mohun Bagan have strengthened their defense with the addition of Kotal, while Kerala Blasters have added a creative spark to their midfield with Samad. The deal is also a sign of the growing financial muscle of ISL clubs.
