Kolkata : A major revamp is waiting in Punjab FC squad as they’re set to release all of their foreigners ahead of ISL 2025-26.

Their bad luck didn’t stop just at the ISL woes as the men in orange were knocked out in Quarter Final losing 2-1 to FC Goa, despite a strong 3-0 win start against Odisha FC.
Now, as per reports, Punjab FC is set to release all of it’s 6 foreigners – Luka Majcen, Ivan Novoselec, Filip Mrzljak, Asmir Suljic, Ezequiel Vidal, and Petros Giakoumakis as they’re going for completely new squad after major revamp.
PFC had a young Indian squad this season that included emerging talents like Tekcham Abhishek Singh, Mohammed Suhail, and Ricky John Shabong. Boasting an academy rich in talent, it was no surprise that the Shers were able to sustain with a squad that was comparatively youthful compared to other ISL clubs.
Luka Majcen to Chennaiyin FC?
Having said that, Luka Majcen, the Punjab skipper, who’ll be released, is likely to join Chennaiyin FC, as Owen Coyle’s club has inquired Punjab FC about the great striker.
