It’s difficult to find an immensely talented player and a genuine person like Bipin. I have worked with so many footballers but Bipin’s work rate and his willingness to learn stand out. He was a key member of our group, winning two trophies and scoring some important goals. We want to build on this success and it’s important to retain the people that make the core and the soul of the team. I am delighted that Bipin has extended his time with Mumbai City and I wish him many more years of success with us,” said Sergio Lobera, Mumbai City FC’s head coach.
