Jamshedpur FC, Chennaiyin FC, and Kerala Blasters FC confirm new departures
Jamshedpur FC, Chennaiyin FC, and Kerala Blasters FC have confirmed the exits of Javier Siverio, Kiyan Nassiri, and Saurav Mandal, respectively.
Jamshedpur FC have officially announced the departure of Spanish striker Javier Siverio. The 27-year-old initially joined the Men of Steel on loan in January 2024, shortly after lifting the Kalinga Super Cup with East Bengal FC. His move was made permanent ahead of the 2024-25 campaign.
After a quiet spell at East Bengal FC, Siverio found his rhythm again at Jamshedpur FC, netting three goals in eight league appearances in his initial half-season.

He continued that form into the next season, scoring seven goals in 26 appearances while forming a solid strike partnership with Jordan Murray. His contributions helped Jamshedpur FC reach the semi-finals of the ISL 2024-25.
Siverio also played a key role in their Kalinga Super Cup 2025 run, where they finished as runners-up after a defeat to FC Goa in the final.
Kiyan Nassiri leaves Chennaiyin FC
Chennaiyin FC have confirmed that forward Kiyan Nassiri will be leaving the club. Nassiri joined from Mohun Bagan Super Giant last season after three years in Kolkata but was unable to make the desired impact with the Marina Machans.

He struggled for game time at his new club, managing only 500 minutes across 15 ISL appearances, with one assist to his name, which came in their 3-0 away win against East Bengal FC.

He made just 21 ISL appearances in three seasons, with all three of his assists coming in the first two campaigns. The midfielder did not play a single minute in the league last season and was loaned out to I-League side Gokulam Kerala FC during the winter transfer window.
