Kerala Blasters are actively pursuing 21-year-old center-back Clarence Fernandes from SC Bengaluru for the upcoming 2025-26 Indian Super League (ISL) season. The young defender, valued at 40 lakh, currently plays on loan at Hyderabad FC. This move highlights the club’s plan to strengthen their team.
Clarence Fernandes, a rising star from Goa, joined SC Bengaluru in 2022 and moved to Hyderabad FC on loan in January 2025. His contract with SC Bengaluru ends on May 31, 2025, making now a key time for a possible transfer to Kerala Blasters.
The club is busy rebuilding its squad. They recently signed right-back Amey Ranawade to a five-year deal until May 2030, showing their focus on long-term success. Bringing in Fernandes could improve their defense as the ISL 2025-26 season nears. However, the season’s start remains unclear due to a Supreme Court case, as noted by AIFF president Kalyan Chaubey on July 25, 2025.
Kerala Blasters also care about player health, recently teaming up with Activbase as their Official Rehabilitation Partner. This step could attract young talents like Fernandes. Keep watching for the latest on this Clarence Fernandes transfer and other ISL 2025-26 updates!
