Furthermore, his skills have been showcased on the national stage with 25 appearances and 7 assists for the Indian team.
The three-year contract, with the potential for an extension, highlights Mumbai City FC’s confidence in Fernandes’ abilities. The official announcement quotes Fernandes expressing his delight at returning to the club, which he views as a “new and exciting challenge” in his career.
