Sampingiraj joined the Blues in the last summer transfer window and featured in seven ISL games in the 2023-24 season.
During his time with Bengaluru FC, Sampingiraj didn't feature regularly, as he clocked only 447 minutes on the pitch. He averaged 30 passes per game, made five interceptions, and won 21 duels while helping his club keep a clean sheet.

Petr Kratky, Mumbai City FC head coach, said they are delighted to welcome Noufal PN to the team."His remarkable pace and skilful footwork in setting up goals for his teammates make him a valuable addition to our team. I am looking forward to having him in our squad and working with him," he said.
