At the same time, some foreign spots are still vacant in Kerala Blasters. The Yellow Army is trying to get the players to these spots before the end of the transfer window. Meanwhile, some reports have come out that a foreign forward is now on the team’s radar and the club has submitted a bid for the player.
The name of Gustavo Blanco Leschuk, a center forward from Argentina, is being linked with Kerala Blasters FC. The thirty-one-year-old currently plays for Spanish club Eibar. Unofficial information is that Kerala Blasters have submitted a bid for the player who shows a market value of INR 6.4 crore in the transfer market. Leschuk, who will play for Eibar from 2021, has a contract with them until the end of June 2024. In the past few days there were strong indications that Kerala Blasters are in the final stages of acquiring a foreign player. It is supposed to be Leshuk.
The Argentinian has 135 matches in La Liga 2 and has scored 24 goals there. He also has experience of playing in major tournaments like Copa del Rey and Copa Libertadores. He has played 303 matches so far in his club career. The player who has scored 63 goals has paved the way for 28 goals.
At the same time, Kerala Blasters has a cold approach towards foreign players in this transfer window. The club has signed only one foreign player since the start of the season. It was Australian forward Joshua Sotirio. But Sotirio suffered an injury during the pre-season and required surgery. Sotirio is expected to be out for most of the 2023-24 season. It is in this situation that bringing in a foreign forward has become a necessity for Blasters.

A total of six players, including Joshua Sotirio, have come to Kerala Blasters for the 2023-24 season. These are Pritam Kotal, Prabir Das, Bikash Singh, Navocha Singh and Lara Sharma. At the same time, Blasters have extended the contracts of eight players. Greek forward Dimitrios Diamantakos, who scored a goal for the team last season, is the key player in this.
At the same time, the team had to start with a defeat in the first match of the season. In the first match of the Durand Cup, Kerala Blasters were defeated by their own country Gokulam Kerala FC by four goals against three. With this, the matter of the yellow army in the Durand Cup is in doubt.
