“Two years back when I signed for Bengaluru FC it is fair to say was the easiest of decisions for me to make. Little did I realize that parting way would be the most difficult having met some of the best gentlemen. Today, as I say goodbye to The Blues, I would like to thank the club owners, management, coaches, medical & the entire support staff that I’ve worked with at this wonderful club,” tweeted Chaudhari.
“Being part of this amazing team and going through the ups and downs has been part of the amazing experience and learnings. Having shared the dressing room with some legends and some of the best emerging talents in the country, makes me feel honoured and proud. As I sign off from BFC, I want to thank all the amazing WBB and Blues faithful for your relentless support throughout these 2 years. Sadly, I wasn’t able to play in front of you guys during my time at BFC. But y’all will always remain special to me,” said in another tweet.

On the other hand, former Mumbai City FC full-back Sarthak Golui was brought on a one-year contract by the Blues last season and also departed. Kolkata-born Golui rose through the ranks with the AIFF Elite Academy and has represented clubs in the I-League and the Indian Super League. The fullback made three appearances for the Bengaluru outfits.
Another one to join the departing band is Iranian midfielder Iman Basafa who signed for the Blues ahead of the ISL 2021-22. While he saw less of the pitch, Basafa played seven games, making several of those appearances from the bench, netting one goal and maintaining a passing accuracy of 82 per cent.
Routing his way to India after making several spells with various Iranian top clubs, the 30-year-old’s ISL journey with Bengaluru FC ends after a short stint.
