The Kerala Blasters have secured the signing of German attacker Marlon Roos Trujillo, adding European pedigree and attacking intelligence to the squad ahead of the upcoming season.
Developed in one of Germany’s most competitive youth ecosystems, the 22-year-old arrives with a strong foundation shaped by elite academies, international youth football, and exposure to top-level development structures.
Trujillo progressed through the youth ranks at Eintracht Frankfurt before spending the majority of his formative years at 1. FSV Mainz 05, where he featured prominently in the Youth Bundesliga and captained the club’s U-17 side. During this period, he was part of a generation that included Florian Wirtz, Karim Adeyemi, Jamal Musiala, Malik Tillman, and Nick Woltemade, competing at the highest level of German youth football.
He also lifted the Youth Bundesliga title, underlining his experience in high-pressure, title-winning environments.
Marlon’s development was further validated at international level, having represented Germany’s U-16, U-17, and U-18 national teams. His consistent inclusion across age groups reflects his technical quality, tactical understanding, and adaptability within elite systems.
An intelligent, forward-thinking attacker, Roos Trujillo is comfortable operating between the lines, linking midfield and attack with composure and awareness. He has since gained senior football experience in Europe, adding maturity and physicality to his game.
Abhik Chatterjee, CEO, Kerala Blasters FC said, “In Marlon, we have a player with a good schooling and pedigree at the youth level. We hope he does well in India and is able to show his capabilities to our fans.”
Marlon shared his thoughts on joining the Blasters, “I’m proud to join the Blasters and grateful for this opportunity. It’s an honor to join such a big club. Excited for this new chapter and ready to give everything on the pitch for the fans.”
