CHENNAI: Chennaiyin FC has announced the addition of midfielder Lukas Brambilla to its roster ahead of the 2024-25 season. The Brazilian brings a wealth of experience and skills to the club, having played in various leagues around the world.

Lukas has joined the Marina Machans from Cyprus’s top-tier club Othellos Athienou.

Joining Chennaiyin on a one-year deal, the midfielder’s arrival marks the club’s ninth signing for the 2024-25 season and its fourth foreign acquisition, following Elsinho Dias, Chima Chukwu and Wilmar Jordan Gil.

Lukas can score goals, create, he can take on players and is good at set-play delivery. What a terrific joy at the club with the Brazilians that we have had. It’s similar to my time working with Rafa and Brambilla falls into that mould. Just a wonderfully entertaining player, well-skilled and the Brazilian comes with a desire to do well for the football club. So we are excited.”

He added, “The fellas had to beat off a lot of competition for his signature. He was chased all over Europe because of his outstanding season last year in Cyprus and again playing a very good league. So we look forward to working with Lukas and hoping we can help him to shine and blossom and continue to improve as a player.”

Lukas Brambilla has excelled in various countries, playing for clubs all over the world. He has played a total of 134 matches in his senior club career and notched up 22 goals and 24 assists with his sublime skills.
