ISL 2019-20 | Bengaluru FC sign winger Nili Perdomo

Bengaluru FC Head Coach Carles Cuadrat believes Nili will help the team going into the business-end of the season with the race to the top-spot heating up. “He is a young player with a lot of potential who has come to try to help us to achieve the objectives at a crucial moment of the season. We both share same roots as he also has been playing in La Masia, and even playing with the Barça first team for some games,” he said.

The winger who is comfortable playing on either flank was excited ahead of joining the Blues in what will be his first stint outside Europe. “Well, I am very happy to be able to go to the best club in India, and above all to thank the coach and the club for trusting me and giving me this opportunity. I am looking forward to starting and giving joy to the fans, I have seen many matches of our team, and I believe we have what it takes to be champions,” said Nili after completing formalities.

The winger joined Segunda Division side Albacete during the first half of the 2017-18 season before travelling abroad for the first time in his career to play for Greek side Platanias FC where he has been playing for the past two seasons.
