Mumbai City FC striker Jorge Pereyra Diaz revealed that settling in with the team has been easy for him ahead of the upcoming Hero ISL season. After his debut season with Kerala Blasters FC, he decided against signing a contract extension and move to Mumbai. Diaz revealed that after receiving the offer from Mumbai City FC, it did not take long for him to make up his mind.
“For a long time – almost two or three months – I was under the impression that I would be returning to Kerala Blasters. But in the end, the club had other plans. It was a shock (to me), but that is football. After this, I had to weigh my options; I knew there were some offers from clubs in the Gulf and the Middle East, but I didn’t want me and my family to go through the process of settling in a new country, and a new team, again,” Jorge Pereyra Diaz said after completing his move to Mumbai City FC. “The very next day, I got the call from Mumbai City and it was a very easy decision to make. With the professionalism and the ambition that Mumbai City have, being a part of City Football Group, which has successful clubs all over the world, I knew I wanted to join Mumbai City as soon as they called me.”
“For me as a striker, I want to score more goals than last season. But more importantly, I want to win trophies. I know we are playing in a few competitions this season and I want to win everything we participate in, starting with the Durand Cup,” he added. “I haven’t had a single problem here in Mumbai City so far. The people at the club, the players and the staff are good. Everyone here has made me feel comfortable since day one. My teammates have been very helpful, too. They’ve welcomed me, they’re always there to help me and settling in with this bunch has been easy for me.”
