JAKARTA - Foreign player from Croatia, Marko Simic, has announced that he is terminating his contract with Persija Jakarta. This step was taken after the club was judged to have violated the contract for not paying his salary for a year.
Although the club has provided clarification, it is believed that the relationship between the two will not work together again. This means that Marko Simic will become a hot commodity in the 2022/2023 Indonesian League 1 transfer market.
A number of clubs have even queued for the services of the 2019 League 1 top scorer. Two names that are widely reported are Persis Solo and Rans Cilegon FC.
Persis Solo has not announced their foreign players. This means that there are still three slots to be filled. In addition, the club owned by President Jokowi's son, Kaesang Pangarep, also does not have a mainstay striker after releasing Beto Goncalves and Marinus Wamewar.
Just like Persis Solo, Rans Cilegon FC has also not announced their foreign players for Liga 1 2022/2023. Possibly, there is one slot prepared for Simic.
Regarding funds, it doesn't seem to be a problem considering that Raffi Ahmad's club has adequate financial support.
The club from East Java, Arema FC, is also included in the list of clubs that could become Marko Simic's new port. As is known, Singo Edan has not yet had a replacement for Carlos Fortes who crossed over to PSIS Semarang.
Another possibility is Bali United. The presence of Stefano Cugurra, who is actually the former coach of Persija Jakarta, could be an attraction for Ferencvaros and Lokomotiva Zagreb to move to the Island of the Gods.
