Persija landed attacking midfielder Marselino Ferdinan in this summer's transfer window and hopes the former Persebaya Surabaya player can strengthen and add variety to the midfield for the 2026/27 BRI Super League competition.
"What's certain is that I'm now looking for a team that's truly serious and can maximize my potential. In times like these, my focus is on restoring my performance and fitness. Persija is the best team for me going forward," Marselino said.
"I will always give my best and hope we can win the title together this year. With the current lineup of players and coaches, we are optimistic we can achieve it," added the Indonesian national team player.
The 22-year-old midfielder was previously a product of Persebaya's junior team and finally broke into the senior squad in 2021–2023.
After that, Marselino continued his career in Belgium by strengthening KMSK Deinze until 2024. His next journey took him to Oxford United in 2024–2025. After that, he was loaned to AS Trenčín, a club from Slovakia, in the 2025–2026 season.
