Mohun Bagan transfer news: Who is Armando Sadiku?
Armando Durim Sadiku, born on May 27, 1991, is a professional footballer from Albania. Sadiku began his senior career in the second tier of Albanian football with Turbina before moving to Gramozi in the top-flight division, where he scored eight goals. He later joined Elbasani but was subsequently banned from Albanian football for non-sporting behaviour, leading him to move abroad to Switzerland.
Sadiku found success in Switzerland, becoming a prolific goalscorer in the second tier and winning the top goalscorer award. He had stints with Lugano and Zürich, but injuries and limited playing time affected his performances. Sadiku was loaned to Vaduz, where he helped the club retain their top-flight status and relegated his parent club. He also had a loan spell at FC Lugano, rejoining his former coach Paolo Tramezzani.
The head coach believes Armando Sadiku’s experience will make him the differential player! 👊🏻#MBSG #JoyMohunBagan #আমরাসবুজমেরুন pic.twitter.com/pVMPzxwC5j

How can Sadiku further strengthen Mohun Bagan?
After winning the ISL 2022-23, Mohun Bagan aren’t resting. They are further strengthening the squad. Despite having Jason Cummings and Dimi Petratos in their team, the Kolkata giants have now signed Armando Sadiku. With so much firepower available, it will be quite difficult for the other teams to stop them.
Sadiku is a very experienced campaigner so all his previous experiences will come in handy for Mohun Bagan and help them to fight Asian competitions as well.
Armando Sadiku, a true Mariner already 💚♥️#MBSG #JoyMohunBagan #আমরাসবুজমেরুন pic.twitter.com/V5AQnXOKX5
