JAKARTA - Striker Gustavo Franca parted ways with Persija Jakarta after the Kemayoran Tigers and the player agreed to terminate his contract.
"We thank Gustavo Franca for his contribution, professionalism, and commitment while defending Persija. Every player who comes to Persija always brings hope, and Franca has tried to answer it with hard work," said Persija Jakarta Director Mohamad Prapanca in an official statement, Sunday.
"This decision was taken with mutual respect and for the common good. We hope that Franca will shine even more at his new club," said Prapanca.
This season Franca has appeared in 13 matches to score one goal and one assist.
Previously, Franca was strongly rumored to be taken by Arema FC, but until now there has been no definite move from the club to bring him to the Kanjuruhan Stadium in Malang.
Macan Kemayoran itself is actively strengthening the squad after bringing in defender Fajar Faturrohman and Moroccan striker Alaeddine Ajaraie.
The team coached by Mauricio Souza is currently in third place in the Super League standings with 35 points or three points behind Persib.
Persija will host Madura United on January 23.
