Persija Jakarta Keeps Cards Close After Busy Mid-Season Transfer Window

Persija Jakarta has been one of the most active clubs in the second transfer window of the 2025/26 BRI Super League, with major changes reshaping the squad. In total, 12 players have been involved in arrivals and departures as the club looks to adjust its roster for the remainder of the season.

On the incoming side, the Jakarta-based team secured four additions. They brought in Fajar Fathur Rahman, Shayne Pattynama, and Paulo Ricardo on permanent deals, while Alaeddine Ajaraie joined the club on loan. These moves were aimed at strengthening several key areas, including defense and attacking options.

At the same time, Persija parted ways with eight players. Several young talents were sent out on loan to gain experience, while others were released or transferred permanently. This clear-out reflects the club’s effort to streamline the squad and make room for new faces.

Among the players involved in the transfer activity, four are foreign players, drawing attention to the balance of local and international talent in the team. Despite speculation about further changes, the coaching staff has not indicated any confirmed plans to alter the foreign player composition before the window closes.

With the transfer market remaining open until early February 2026, Persija are still in a waiting phase. The current squad is considered final for now, even as concerns linger over a shortage in midfield due to injuries. While rumors have linked the club to potential reinforcements, no concrete decisions have been made, leaving the focus on maximizing the resources already available.
