Margo, midfielder Muhammad Nemil has extended his stay at FC Goa for three more years, the club announced on Saturday.

Nemil joined the ISL club in 2020 before being sent to FE Grama in Spain on a season-long loan.

The Indian made his senior professional debut in the Tercera División (fourth division), but failed to score in his only match.

On signing the new contract, Nemil said, “I am very happy to continue my journey with FC Goa. “This club has become my second home, and I’m excited about the future and what we can achieve together.”

"We had a productive season last time, finishing third in the ISL league stage and reaching the Durand Cup and ISL Cup semi-finals and we want to make a bigger impact this time," he said.

Nemil made his ISL debut with the Gaurs in 2021 and so far, he has scored seven goals in 26 matches.

Their only title achievement is the Durand Cup that year, when Goa defeated Mohammedan SC 1–0 in the final. Nemil scored four goals including two assists at the event.

Gaurs head coach Manolo Marquez expressed his pleasure to work with the 22-year-old for a few more seasons.

“There is no doubt that Nemil is an exceptionally talented player. His ability to play with both feet and his powerful shots make him an important asset.

“The challenge for them now is to maintain consistency. But we believe in his ability to be a decisive player for us in the coming season. This extension reflects our confidence in his abilities and our vision for success and trophies,” said the Spaniard.
