Roy Krishna will play alongside Indian Captain Sunil Chettri as forwards and he’ll reunite with former ATK Mohun Bagan teammates Javi Hernandez, Prabir Das and Jayesh Rane.
Speaking to FBC Sports, Krishna says after careful consideration and discussions with his family, he believes he has made the right decision.
“You know just the success I had with the previous club and of course the last two seasons we didn’t win, so I still have that hunger to go back and prove not just for myself but for Bengaluru, you know they haven’t been in the top four for the last two seasons so you know I’ve been admiring them when I first went they were the toughest opponents in terms of defending and scoring a goal so, yeah I want to go back and of course with the signings and with the new coach and with my fellow mates, hopefully, this season we can achieve that goal”
The 2022/23 ISL season is expected to kick off in October, however, Krishna will head to India soon to start preseason training with the club in the Indian city of Bengaluru. Krishna is expected to travel to India next week.

There were reports suggesting rift between Krishna and Ferrando, and the former’s quotes only adds credibility to the claims. Speaking to Football Monk in June, he said “It was not my decision.
