Speaking of the departure, Director of Football, Ravi Puskur said, “Ishan communicated to the club during the course of the summer that he would like to explore other opportunities keeping his personal growth in mind.”
“When the other club expressed their interest with a suitable proposal, we felt it in the best interest of all parties involved to accept the offer factoring above all of Ishan’s wish to continue to seek more playing time.”
“As a club, we have always encouraged opportunities for youngsters and we stuck to the same principle in Ishan’s case as well. Everybody at FC Goa would like to wish Ishan all the very best for his future.”
