NEW DELHI: Indian midfielder Anirudh Thapa, renowned for his impressive performances during his seven-year tenure with Chennaiyin FC, has made a monumental switch to Mohun Bagan Super Giant, signing a lucrative five-year contract. The highly anticipated move comes after Thapa turned down several attractive offers from other clubs, including Mohun Bagan, making it one of the most significant deals ever struck by an Indian footballer.
Mohun Bagan Super Giant wasted no time in announcing the acquisition, declaring, "Anirudh Thapa, one of India's top central midfielders, will now don the jersey of Mohun Bagan Super Giant. The club has secured a five-year contract with this midfield maestro." While the precise transfer fee remains undisclosed, reports suggest it amounts to a staggering Rs 3 crore.
