Rows Of Clubs That Can Be Arhan's Primary Goals After Suwon FC Releases

Pratama Arhan was able to return to Indonesia to strengthen Liga 1 club after being released by Suwon FC (Instagram/@pratamarhan8).

JAKARTA - Pratama Arhan officially left his career in K-League 1 after being released by Suwon FC on Wednesday, January 1, 2024.

Even so, the journey of the Indonesian National Team player is still open to grazing in the country.

Arhan's chances for grazing are still wide open considering the player is still 23 years old.

While defending Suwon FC, Arhan's flying hours were minimal. He still has to get playing minutes to improve his quality.

Before anchoring to Suwon FC, Arhan was in Tokyo Verdy's uniform for two years. However, during that period, he only appeared four times with a total of 255 minutes of playing.

The decision to move to South Korea is not better in fact. When wearing the Suwon FC uniform in the 2024 season, Arhan even played only twice with a total of five minutes.

Reflecting on his career abroad, the decision to try out opportunities in the country by navigating Liga 1 could be the right choice.

The following are a number of clubs that are deemed suitable to continue Pratama Arhan's career.

Semen Padang

The club, which has just undergone promotion to Liga 1 2024/2025, is deemed worthy of being the anchor of Primary Arhan.

Apart from having just set foot in the top level competition in the country, Andre Rosiade, who is Arhan's father-in-law, currently serves as an advisor to Semen Padang.

Andre Rosiade has also thrown a code that will bring Pratama Arhan in the Kabau Sirah squad.

The presence of Pratama Arhan is needed to save Semen Padang, who is now trapped in the relegation zone, precisely the 17th position with a collection of 10 points.

Persebaya Surabaya

The next club that could be an option where Arhan is anchored is Persebaya Surabaya. On the mission to keep the chances of winning this season, Persebaya clearly needed a qualified squad.

Moreover, currently Bajul Ijo's full-back position does not yet have a permanent occupant, which could be Arhan's next position.

PSIS Semarang

Pratama Arhan apparently still has his own place for PSIS Semarang, his first club to have a professional career. Upon his return from overseas travel, Arhan was still able to return to PSIS.

The CEO of PSIS Semarang, Yoyok Sukawi, had previously said about accepting Pratama Arhan back.

He believes Arhan will still have a place at the club where he started his first move.

"If he (Pratama Arhan) wants to return (to Indonesia), he will definitely return to PSIS."

"However, I return it (to Pratama Arhan). If you want to go to PSIS, it depends on his heart," said Yoyok Sukawi in December 2024.

Persija Jakarta

The club that can also be an option for Pratama Arhan is Persija Jakarta. After the first round of Liga 1 2024/2025, Persija Jakarta is indeed making improvements to pursue the top position of the standings.

In this regard, the Director of Macan Kemayoran, Mohamad Prapanca, had said that his team would bring in new players in the January 2025 transfer market.

Seeing the current needs of the team, Persija Jakarta needs a top-notch player in the left-wing defender position that Arhan can occupy.

Currently, Dony Tri Pamungkas is in this position, but the person concerned is often absent due to defending the U-20 Indonesian national team.

Firza Andika, who was plotted as a replacement for Dony Tri Pamungkas, actually appeared less than optimal. Therefore, Pratama Arhan can be used as an option.
