In any case, the wait for the 2023-2024 season has already started for every yellow team fan. Ahead of the next season, it is certain that the Kerala Blasters FC team will be dismantled. New foreign players need to come in. Let’s take a look at the players who are almost certain not to be in Kerala Blasters FC next season.
Apostle Giannu
Australian Apostolos Giannou is a striker who has reached the 2022-2023 ISL season through the AFC quota. Apostle Gianu signed a one-year contract with Kerala Blasters FC on July 8, 2022. In the beginning of the season, he was unable to play due to injury and problems. Later moved to permanent substitute label.
Booted in 17 matches this season. He came on the field 12 times as a substitute. Scored two goals and assisted two goals. 33-year-old Apostle Gianu is unlikely to be in the Kerala Blasters FC jersey next season.
Ivan Kaliushny
Ukraine central midfielder Ivan Kalyuzhnyi has signed a contract with Kerala Blasters FC on July 18, 2022. The contract was for one year on loan basis. The 25-year-old was a regular presence in the midfield for Kerala Blasters FC. Scored four goals and assisted one goal in the 2022–2023 ISL season. 18 matches were played in this season. He was in the starting eleven 15 times out of that.
Kaliushny, who is on loan, will need a huge fee to sign a permanent contract, so it is unlikely that the player will be at the club next season.

Victor Mongil
Victor Mongil is the star who came to Blasters on a one-year contract before this season. The centre-back played only 853 minutes in 19 matches. Ivan Vukomanovic considered Mongil as a backup to Marko Leskovic.
Despite his good performance, the player’s contract is unlikely to be renewed by Blasters. For example, Blasters did not renew the contract with Enes Sipovic like this last season.

Dimitrios Diamantakos
Greek center forward Dimitrios Diamantakos is Kerala Blasters FC’s top scorer in the Indian Super League 2022-2023 season. The 30-year-old has scored 10 goals and provided three assists in 21 appearances this season. The contract with Kerala Blasters FC was on August 25, 2022. Dimitrios Diamantakos is the latest player to join Kerala Blasters FC for the 2022-2023 season. The actor landed in Kochi on a one-year contract with Kerala Blasters FC.
Fans may want Diamantakos to be retained by the Blasters for next season, but given the club’s past practices, that may not be the case.
These two will continue
At the same time, it is certain that the 2 foreign players who played this time will continue in the Blasters next season as well. It’s Adrian Luna and Marko Leskovic. Both are currently the most important players in the team and have contracts with the club until 2024. It will be their third season with the Blasters to come.
