Mumbai: The Indian Super League teams had a clearly chalked out plan in mind as they ensured that they have the best players on board according to their preferences in the draft for the fourth edition of the ISL.
Anas Edathodika (Jamshedpur FC) and Eugeneson Lyngdoh (ATK) emerged as the costliest purchases in the draft (both were bought for ₹1.1 crore each) where all the teams looked a build a strong base of Indian footballers for their teams.
The ten teams-including Jamshedpur FC and Bengaluru FC being the new entrants had a total purse of ₹18 crores to spend, out of which ₹12.5 crores were reserved for foreign recruits.
Every team could have a maximum squad strength of 25 players with the maximum number of 18 players being of Indian origin. Delhi Dynamos was the only team to not have retained a single player and they along with newcomers Jamshedpur FC started off the bidding process.
Striker Robin Singh is all set for a reunion with Ashley Westwood as he was roped in by the defending champions for ₹65 lakhs. Mohammad Rafi, who had played a crucial role for the Kerala Blasters was bought by former ISL champions Chennaiyin FC for ₹3 lakhs.
Mumbai City FC, who had retained the likes of goalkeeper Amrinder Singh and midfielder Sehnaj Singh bought midfielders Abhinash Ruidas for ₹18 lakhs and Sanju Pradhan for ₹30 lakhs.
Mehrajuddin Wadoo, who formed a crucial part of the Chennaiyin defense in the earlier editions of the ISL was also bought by Mumbai for ₹43 lakhs.
FC Pune City roped in Kean Lewis for ₹40 lakhs and Jewel Raja, who had scored the winning penalty for Kolkata in the last edition of the ISL for ₹26 lakhs.
