Inter Kashi are making some strong moves in the transfer window, having signed Joni Kauko. The midfielder left Mohun Bagan SG at the end of the season, after returning to them in the latter half of 23-24.
They have already recruited former Mohun Bagan SG and ATK head coach Antonio Habas. And now, they are strengthening their squad in a bid to challenge for the I-League title after missing out last season.

Habas was key in convincing the Finnish footballer to make the move to Inter Kashi. In a few short years, the club has established themselves as a force to be reckoned with in the I-League. And this season, they seem keen on reaching the top division.
The 34-year-old has made 35 ISL appearances for MBSG over two-and-a-half years with them. He also won the league title with the Mariners this past season, replacing Hugo Boumous when Habas came back in to replace Juan Ferrando as the head coach.
Now, it remains to be seen whether the UP-based club can finish atop the division amidst strong competition from the likes of Sreenidi Deccan.
