The club currently occupies 11th place in the 13-team league table, managing only two points from their first four matches. With two draws and two defeats on their record, the management has turned to the seasoned forward to help reverse their fortunes and climb the standings.
A Proven Track Record in Indian Football
Luka Majcen is no stranger to the Indian football landscape, having established a reputation as a prolific goalscorer since his arrival in 2020. His journey began with Churchill Brothers, where he immediately made an impact by finishing as the second-highest scorer in the I-League. His consistency continued at Bengaluru United, where he netted 15 goals to finish as the league's top scorer while securing the Bangalore Super Division title.
The striker’s career in India has been marked by significant silverware. In January 2022, he joined Gokulam Kerala, contributing 13 goals to their successful I-League title defense. He later moved to RoundGlass Punjab, where he played a central role in their league-winning campaign and subsequent promotion to the Indian Super League, once again topping the scoring charts with 16 goals. Most recently, Majcen helped Diamond Harbour FC claim the 2025-26 Indian Football League title.
Looking Ahead to the ISL Challenge
Expressing his enthusiasm for the move, Majcen stated that he is delighted to join the club and is eager to embrace the new challenge. He emphasized his commitment to contributing to the team's success and helping the club achieve its objectives for the remainder of the season. The forward noted that he is looking forward to integrating with his new teammates and beginning his tenure with the squad.
Mumbai City FC will be banking on Majcen’s proven ability to find the back of the net to provide the attacking spark that has been missing during their winless start. With the season still in its early stages, the club hopes this addition will serve as the catalyst for a turnaround in their 2026-27 campaign.
