Michael Soosairaj scored four goals in 14 appearances for Jamshedpur FC in the Indian Super League last season.

Jamshedpur FC winger Michael Soosairaj is set to complete his move to Indian Super League club ATK.

The Tamil Nadu player, who joined Jamshedpur from I-League side Chennai City FC in 2018, will move to the Kolkata-based franchise after the two-time ISL champion reportedly paid out his buyout clause of Rs. 90 lakh. 

"Soosairaj has signed a pre-contract with the club and should be announced as an ATK player imminently," a highly placed source told  Sportstar .

Chennai City will stand to earn a 10 per cent signing-on fee from the transfer. 

Soosairaj will be joined at ATK by his brother and free agent Michael Regin, who recently won the I-League with Chennai City. The central midfielder was an integral part of Chennai City's success. 

Club owner Rohit Ramesh confirmed to  Sportstar  that Edwin Sydney Vanspaul and Alexander Romario Jesuraj will be the other Indian players to depart Akbar Nawas' title-winning side.
