5 Indian players whose careers have been transformed by the ISL

#3 Romeo Fernandes

Success in ISL saw Romeo capture an Atletico Paranaense contract

The 24-year-old Goan born winger marked history when he became the first Indian player to play for a senior South American club. Romeo joined the Brazilian outfit Atletico Paranaense on 15 February 2015 on loan from his parent club FC Dempo. The Goan midfielder who plays for FC Goa in ISL was outstanding for the Goan club in both the editions of the ISL.

He bagged a total of three goals and two assists for the Goan outfit in the first edition of ISL and notched up two goals and four assists in the second. FC Goa coach Zico was highly impressed by the winger’s performance in the ISL and played a big part in his loan move to the Brazilian club. The expectations are very much higher on the talented winger, who was certainly one of the finds of the tournament.
