ISL 2022-23 transfers LIVE: ATK Mohun Bagan confirms the departure defender Sandesh Jhingan
The defender will be extra cautious this time around in thinking of a move abroad as his previous stint with the Croatian side ended in a nightmare due to injuries.
According to reports, Juan Fernando confirmed that the Indian defender is not in his plans and therefore he has been released following the expiry of his contract with the Mariners.
The India international had signed a five-year contract with the Mariners after a six-year stint with Kerala Blasters FC. The deal was worth Rs 10 crore, making him the best paid Indian footballer at theat point. But in 2021, Jhingan moved to Croatian top tier club HNK Sibeni, two days after landing in the country, he was injured and barely after four months the defender drew curtains on his European dreams.

Jhingan is arguably India’s best central defender and is a regular in the national team. He made his national team debut in 2015 and has won 36 international caps, scoring four times. He is known for his tough, no-nonsense and courageous defending.
He played for the Kerala Blasters FC between 2014 and 2020 before making the move to the Kolkata club. During his six-year spell with the Kochi side, the defender became a fan favourite and he played a pivotal role in the club making two final appearances in 2014 and 2016.
