Bengaluru FC, on Tuesday, announced that midfielder Dimas Delgado would spend a fourth year with the club after the Spaniard put pen to paper in a new one-year deal that keeps him with the Blues till the end of the 2020-21 season. Delgado’s extension comes a little more than a week after Bengaluru tied down Erik Paartalu to a two-year deal. 

Thirty-seven-year-old Delgado has been central to the way Bengaluru goes about its play since he arrived at the club in 2017. One of the leaders in the dressing room, Delgado turned up with yet another season full of consistent performances where he notched five assists and a goal in Bengaluru’s run up to the semifinal of the Indian Super League.

I have enjoyed playing my part in everything we have achieved over the last three seasons and I cannot wait to do it for one more year. It’s an honour to pull on the Bengaluru shirt and walk out in front of our fans who have always shown me love. We have more to achieve and I will keep helping this team,” said Delgado.
