Mumbai, 11 November: Mumbai City FC have completed the signing of experienced Slovenian centre-forward Luka Majcen, giving the Islanders another proven goalscorer for the 2026-27 season.
The Ljubljana-born striker is one of the most familiar foreign faces in Indian football, having played in the country since 2020 and won league titles at more than one level.
Six years of goals in Indian football
Majcen arrived in India in 2020 with Churchill Brothers and finished as the I-League’s second-highest scorer. He then moved to Bengaluru United, where he won the Bangalore Super Division title and topped the scoring chart with 15 goals.
In January 2022 he joined Gokulam Kerala and scored 13 goals as they retained the I-League title. Later that year he signed for RoundGlass Punjab, won the I-League again, finished as the league’s top scorer with 16 goals and was named Player of the Season. Punjab’s promotion took him into the Indian Super League, where he became the club’s first-ever ISL goalscorer.
Most recently, Majcen helped Diamond Harbour FC win the 2025-26 Indian Football League title.
‘Added depth in the striking department’
Sujay Sharma, Mumbai City’s director of football, said the signing was about strengthening the attack. “We have brought in Luka to give us added depth in the striking department along with Wilmar and Ajsal. Given his proven experience in India and the ISL for several years, we are hopeful he will get us goals and convert chances we will create going forward. His leadership and character will also be an added plus for the squad,” he said.
Majcen said: “I am delighted to join the club and excited for this new challenge. I will give my best to contribute to the team and help achieve the club’s objectives. I look forward to meeting my new teammates and getting started.”
Second signing of the day
The move came on the same day that Mumbai City confirmed the arrival of Brazilian attacking midfielder Hadrian Benavenuto Dos Santos as a replacement for the injured Leandro. The Islanders, formed in 2014, have won four major trophies, including the ISL League Shield and ISL Cup double in 2020-21.
