ISL 2024-25 Transfer Window Closes: Big Spends and Key Acquisitions

The summer transfer window for the 2024-25 Indian Super League (ISL) season slammed shut on August 31st, marking the end of a flurry of activity as clubs sought to strengthen their squads for the upcoming campaign. The window saw a mix of established stars switching allegiances and promising young talents making their mark.

East Bengal, aiming for a strong season, made strategic moves by acquiring the players who topped the goals and assists charts in the ISL. Dimitrios Diamantakos and Madih Talal, both prolific scorers, joined the ranks, bringing a wealth of experience and goalscoring prowess.

Meanwhile, Mohun Bagan Super Giant continued their trend of attracting marquee signings, securing the services of Jamie Maclaren, the all-time leading goalscorer in Australia’s top division. This signing signals their ambition to challenge for the ISL title and adds a potent attacking force to their squad.

The new ISL season is set to kick off on September 13th, with the Mariners facing Mohun Bagan Super Giant at the iconic Salt Lake Stadium in Kolkata.
