Kerala Blasters: Who can KBFC let go to bring in Noah Sadaoui?

Even though Kerala Blasters had a strong start to the ISL 2023-24 season, they have since suffered due to a large number of injuries. It has seen them lose many games without several key players in the squad. They have fallen down to 5th place in the league table.

They are now determined to boost their squad to get back their amazing form. Reportedly, they have targeted Noah Sadaoui from FC Goa and Lalrinliana Hnamte from Mohun Bagan. A Manorama Online report suggests that talks with Goa for Sadaoui are in the final stages.

Noah Sadaoui


The Moroccan forward could sign a multi-year deal with Kerala in the coming summer transfer window. However, if Kerala want Sadaoui to play in next season's Indian Super League, then they will need to unregister a foreigner as they already have six foreign registered players.

Their current six foreign registered Kerala Blasters players are Marko Leskovic, Milos Drincic, Daisuke Sakai, Dimitrios Diamantakos, Fedor Cernych, and Emmanuel Justine Ojoka. There have been some rumours that they could let go of Leskovic in the summer transfer window.

They have another issue to resolve regarding foreign players. They lost Jaushua Sotirio due to an injury at the start of the season and was ruled out for the rest of the season. They brought in Sakai as a replacement who has been a regular starter for Kerala.

He has also scored twice and provided two assists throughout all competitions. However, his contact expires at the end of this season. When Sotirio comes back, Kerala might have to let go of Sakai. However, their total number of registered foreign players will still remain the same.

Hence, they will still need to let go of another foreign player. Sadaoui will be a good addition to Kerala who has been amazing for Goa this season. He has appeared in 23 games this season in all competitions and in that time, he has scored 12 goals and provided four assists.
