Former Real Madrid and Barcelona Youth Player Set to Join ISL Club
In a significant development, Iago Falque Silva, born in Vigo, Galicia, and a product of Real Madrid’s youth system, is on the verge of joining East Bengal FC. Negotiations between the player and the club have been successfully completed, leaving only the contract signing pending.
Falque’s journey in professional football has taken him across various clubs and leagues. After his early years with Real Madrid and a stint at Barcelona, Falque signed a four-year contract with Juventus in 2008, later experiencing loan spells in Serie A with Bari and Villarreal B.
The midfielder made his mark in the Premier League with Tottenham Hotspur during the 2011-2012 season. Although his Premier League appearances were limited, he played a crucial role during his loan spells with Southampton and Almería.
Falque continued his journey through La Liga, joining Rayo Vallecano on loan in the 2013-2014 season. His notable performances, including goals against Málaga, showcased his skills and agility on the field.
A significant chapter unfolded in 2015 when Falque transferred to Roma on a season-long deal. His subsequent move to Torino in 2016 saw him excel, finishing the season as the top scorer for the club.
The midfielder’s career took an international turn in 2022 when he joined Colombian team América de Cali. Unfortunately, his time with the club was marred by an unfortunate incident involving an attack on his vehicle near the team’s training facilities, leading to the termination of his contract by mutual agreement.
Now, with negotiations completed, Iago Falque Silva is poised to bring his wealth of experience and skills to East Bengal FC. The contract signing is the final step before the talented midfielder officially becomes part of the Indian football scene. Fans eagerly anticipate his contribution to the team’s success in the upcoming season.
