With India’s newly acquired craze for “league football”, reports state that SRK is either going to buy stakes in the ISL franchise or the I-league franchise.
But, with ISL and I-League likely to merge soon, it now seems King Khan is not only going to cash in on the opportunity but buy a huge stake in one of India’s oldest clubs – “Mohun Bagan”.

Reports state that SRK will buy 30% stake in the “Mohun Bagan” franchise which is currently part of the I-League’s top tire and that this buyout will likely happen by ISL season 5 (by which many expect both leagues to have merged).
According to Sports Keeda, a meeting took place between Mohun Bagan and representatives of Red Chillies Entertainment last week, though what it was about is not yet clear.
