Mumbai City FC have officially confirmed the return of Argentine striker Jorge Pereyra Diaz for the upcoming 2025-26 Indian Super League season. The move sees the 33-year-old forward rejoin the club following a one-year spell with Bengaluru FC.

Diaz previously enjoyed a productive two-season stint with the Islanders between 2021 and 2024. During that period, he played a significant role in helping Mumbai City clinch the League Winners' Shield in the 2022-23 campaign and lift the ISL Cup the following season. Across all competitions for the club, he registered 27 goals and 10 assists in 53 appearances.

Well-regarded within Indian football circles, Diaz made his ISL debut with Kerala Blasters in 2021 and has since amassed a total of 32 goals and 11 assists in the league. His return is expected to bolster Mumbai City's attacking options with a blend of familiarity, consistency, and experience. In a statement released by the club, Diaz expressed his enthusiasm for the move.

"Coming back to Mumbai City feels special. My first stint with the club brought some incredible memories, both on and off the pitch. The city, the fans, and the people at the club have always made me feel at home. I'm grateful for the trust they've shown in me again, and I'm ready to give everything for the badge," Diaz said to the club's official website.
