Long Without a Club, Osvaldo Haay Sends a Signal to Return to Persebaya

JAKARTA - Osvaldo Haay hinted that he would return to the field after being unemployed for quite some time. This agile winger also sent a code signal to where he would dock.

Persebaya Surabaya is the club that seems to be chosen by Osvaldo. Moreover, this club has ever raised its name in the national football arena.

The signal of Osvaldo's return to Persebaya was strengthened through a nostalgic video upload on Osvaldo's personal Instagram account on Sunday, April 5, 2026.

In the video, there is a glimpse of Osvaldo's impressive action while wearing the typical green Bajul Ijo uniform in the crucial match against Arema FC at the Kanjuruhan Stadium, Malang.

Osvaldo pinned a message that hinted at his ambition to immediately graze again in the upload.

"Ready to get back on the field for the glory of Jesus," he wrote.

Osvaldo's post immediately sparked widespread speculation among Indonesian football lovers. Not only that, the comment column also became a magnet for Persebaya's loyal supporters, Bonek Mania.

The 28-year-old player's comment column was flooded with hopes that Osvaldo would return to strengthen Persebaya's attack line in the 2025/2026 Super League competition.

For the Surabaya public, Osvaldo is not a stranger. Since joining in 2018 to 2020, this player born on May 1, 1997 has recorded 49 appearances with 18 goals and seven assists. His impressive performance at that time made him one of the main idols at the Gelora Bung Tomo Stadium.
