Indian Super League: Bengaluru FC, on Friday, announced that midfielder Lalremtluanga Fanai had signed a three-year extension to his current deal with the Blues, keeping him on the club’s books until the end of the 2027-28 season. The 20-year-old, fresh off an impressive campaign under Spanish tactician Gerard Zaragoza, has grown into a complete, reliable midfielder, having joined the club in 2020.

“I’m really glad to extend my time here at Bengaluru FC. I came here as a teenager, and I’ve grown immensely in the last four seasons. The coaches and players around me have been very supportive, and I strongly believe this is the right place for me to grow. I’m looking forward to making more memories with this football club,” Fanai said after putting pen to paper on his new deal.

Fanai came through the ranks at Bengaluru FC, turning out for the club’s U18 Academy side before breaking into the BFC Reserves. Ahead of the 2023-24 season, Fanai was drafted into the club’s Indian Super League squad.
