Releases Samsul Arif, Persebaya Surabaya "Attacked" By Netizens: Clearance Sale, Bestie?

JAKARTA - Persebaya Surabaya has released their local players again. This time, it is Samsul Arif who is certain to no longer wear the Bajul Ijo uniform next season.

This was announced by Persebaya Surabaya through their official Instagram account. The management would like to thank Samsul Arif's dedication.

"Thank you for all your contributions this season. Success is always Cak Sul. See you later," said Persebaya Surabaya's statement on his Instagram account.

Persebaya's decision to release Samsul Arif was questioned by a number of parties. The reason is, he is predicted to be a mainstay on the front lines after Taisei Marukawa left.

Moreover, the game of the former Persela Lamongan player has been fairly adjusted to Bajul Ijo.

There is a lot of speculation circulating, especially on social media. A number of netizens assessed that Persebaya's management was having a clearance sale due to financial problems.

"Ramadan flash sale?" commented @chandraj***.

"This is how I hope the player's champion is suitable, it's good not to be defended," wrote the account @romadhonferdh ***.

"Clearance sale, Bestie," wrote the account @ur.f ***.

"What's wrong with Persebaya?" account comment @rzk***.

Persebaya Surabaya can indeed be said to have a clearance sale. Samsul Arif is the 14th player to leave the East Java club.

Previously there were Ricky Kambuaya, Rachmat Irianto, Arif Satria, Rendy Irwan, Oktafianus Fernando, Reva Adi Utama, Ady Setiawan, Arizky Wahyu, Johan Yoga, David Arianto, Taisei Marukawa, Bruno Moreira, Arsenio Valpoort and Ali Sesay.
