Ahead of the Second Round, Persija Released 3 Young Players as Loans

JAKARTA - Persija Jakarta officially released three of its young players on loan ahead of the end of the first round of the 2025/2026 Super League. The three players are Alfriyanto Nico Saputro (22), Figo Dennis (19), and Jehan Pahlevi (19).

These players are released with a loan period until the end of the season and are expected to be an opportunity for them to increase flight time, mature the mental aspect of competing, and enrich their experience at the competitive level.

Both Nico, Figo, and Levi have had the opportunity to play at Macan Kemayoran this season. Nico has played five times and has a record of one assist, while Figo has appeared in two matches, and Levi has played once.

Persija Sports Director, Bambang Pamungkas, hopes that the three players can maximize the loan period.

"This loan period we see as an important part of their development process. Not only about playing minutes, but also about how to deal with pressure and maintain consistency."

"We want them to return to Persija with richer experience and more prepared mentally," said Bambang, quoted from Persija's official website, Wednesday, January 7, 2026.

With more consistent minutes at the loan club, the three are expected to return to Persija with more mature baggage for the future of the club.

For these players, the loan scheme is not a new experience in their career journey. The reason is, in the 2024/2025 Liga 1, Nico had strengthened Dewa United and recorded 24 appearances. He was also loaned to PSIM when appearing in the 2023/2024 League 2.

Then, Figo experienced an atmosphere of competition that was no less challenging with PSIM in the 2024/2025 League 2. He was part of the squad that led the Yogyakarta-based club to be promoted from League 2 to the 2025/2026 Super League, with eight appearances.

Meanwhile, Levi had worn the Persiku Kudus uniform and appeared in 10 matches.

Currently, Persija has not announced the clubs that have loaned its three players. However, the Macan Kemayoran said that it gave full authority to the loaning clubs to announce directly.

Previously, Persija had previously terminated the cooperation with another young player, Alwi Fadillah, as the player's contract expired at the beginning of January 2026.
