East Bengal are planning to offer Saul Crespo a two-year extension on his contract, which would keep him at the club until 2026. The Spaniard has been a vital part of the team this season, and showed his brilliance once again with his brace against Kerala Blasters in their 4-2 win.
The player hasn’t signed the new deal yet, but fans will be eager to see one of their best players renew his deal at the club.
Saul Crespo rumoured to extend East Bengal contract till 2026
The midfield has been one of East Bengal’s big weaknesses, but Saul Crespo has been one of the silver linings for them this season. The 27-year-old has performed as a playmaker, but injuries have limited his influence this season.
With a new defensive midfielder signed for the new season, East Bengal could receive a huge boost and could fully unlock Crespo’s playmaking abilities. But even now, the midfielder has shown that he is one of the best parts of the team.
And East Bengal’s decision to offer him a new deal will surely go down as a smart one over the coming years. But, they will have to back the playmaker with a physically strong partner who can shield the defence when Saul goes up to attack.
