JAKARTA - Persebaya Surabaya officially released Marselino Ferdinand to the Belgian club KMSK Deinze. Marselino's move was confirmed via social media on Wednesday, February 1 evening WIB.
The midfielder, who is also the mainstay of the Indonesian national team, was contracted for one and a half seasons.
"Actually, it is hard for us to let him go, however Marsel really needs a team. However, we finally realized that we had to give up Marsel," said Persebaya Manager Yahya Alkatiri, in a written statement on the club's official website.
"We believe that these Tandes are not traveling through Europe. He will pave many roads for Surabaya players and Indonesia in general to go to Europe," he continued.
Yahya believes that Persebaya has given Marsel, Marselino's nickname, quite a provision to become a great player on the Blue Continent.
"Don't go home quickly to Persebaya Marsel. We wish you a long career in Europe. After Belgium, chase Italy, England, and other football qiblas," continued Yahya.
Persebaya also flicked PSSI in this farewell. They asked PSSI not to interfere with the player's focus during his career in Europe.
"PSSI, please don't disturb Marsel too much with unnecessary long-term TC invitations," said Yahya.
At the Belgian club later, Marselino will wear jersey number 27. Yahya said the beautiful number has something to do with Persebaya Surabaya's birth year.
"Congratulations on fighting Marsel. Your brothers will follow soon," he concluded.
