While both have the present contract till May 2023 with their respective present clubs, Kuruniyan is likely to sign a contract with the Mariners until 2026. On the other hand, Das will also be handed a multi-year deal by the West Block Blues.
Both ISL sides can be benefited from this latest reported swap deal. However, both sides are yet to be confirmed about this reported deal.
Prabir Das: from ATK Mohun Bagan to Bengaluru FC
The right wing-back Prabir Das can massively help the Bengaluru FC in the next ISL season. The very much experienced ISL player has a very good image in the Kolkata-based club. Apart from handling the defensive duties, Das is also very helpful to his team to build up the attacks. Not only his speed, but the smart footballer also reads the situation quickly and accurately to create consistent opportunity moments for his team.
Das can provide useful and dangerous crosses for his teammates.
Ashique Kuruniyan: from Bengaluru FC to ATK Mohun Bagan
On the other hand, Ashique Kuruniyan is now growing up as a talented left wing-back, who has already represented the Indian national football team in 21 games. The fearless footballer is useful both in the defensive approach and attacking prospects. While he earlier impressed the experts with his pace, Kuruniyan is now also improving his passing skills to become a more powerful teammate.
