Mohun Bagan’s Historic Season
The 2023–24 season has been nothing short of a dream for Mohun Bagan. The Mariners clinched both the ISL League Shield and the Indian Super League (ISL) Championship, achieving a rare domestic double. Fans are still riding high on the euphoria of this remarkable achievement.
Defensive Concerns Amidst Transfer Rumors
However, amidst the celebrations, some challenges are surfacing. Top ISL franchises are showing interest in Tom Aldred, one of Mohun Bagan’s most consistent defenders this season. Alongside Alberto Rodríguez, Aldred played a pivotal role in fortifying the Mariners’ backline.
Should Aldred part ways with the club, it will leave a significant void in the defense—an area where Mohun Bagan can’t afford to be weak, especially after such a successful campaign.
Enter Kevin Sibille – The Argentine Centre-Back
To address this potential gap, Mohun Bagan is reportedly targeting Argentine defender Kevin Sibille. Born in Argentina, Sibille currently plays in Spain and is known for his solid presence in central defense.
His career began with River Plate, one of Argentina’s most prestigious clubs. He later moved to Spain, playing for Valencia CF, Atlético Baleares, and currently with Ponferradina.
Now, if all goes according to plan, his next destination could be Kolkata, joining the green-and-maroon brigade.
Official Announcement Expected Soon
Though the deal is yet to be finalized, sources close to the club suggest that an official announcement regarding Sibille’s signing is just days away. If confirmed, this will be a significant boost to Mohun Bagan’s defense as they prepare for another high-stakes season.
