JAKARTA - Indonesian national team player, Marcelino Ferdinan, is widely reported to have anchored to Belgium. One of the clubs linked with the young Persebaya midfielder is Beerschot VA.

However, the latest news says that the club management has denied that they are interested in Marselino. Beerschot's rejection was disclosed by the local media, HLN.

"There has been a lot of speculation in the Indonesian press about the possible transfer of local talent Marselino Ferdinan to Beerschot," wrote HLN as quoted on Wednesday, January 25.

"Ferdinan is an 18-year-old attacking midfielder who plays for Indonesian first-division club Persebaya and the Indonesian national team. However, Beerschot has denied that a transfer is imminent," the media statement continued.

In HLN's opinion, the news that Marselino was frequently joining the Beerschot VA came about purely by chance. The reason is that when this news came out, Beerschot midfielder, Dante Rigo had just been injured.

Rigo even had to be rushed to the hospital for further examination. It is claimed that the ankle ligament injury could keep the former PSV Eindhoven player out of action for up to one and a half months

Rejection from Beerschot VA, this situation opened the opportunity for Marselino to join SK Beveren. Where the club was also one that was connected with Marcelino.
