Arema FC Targets U-17 National Team Star Evandra Florasta Amid Transfer Market Moves
Arema FC has reportedly set its sights on young talent Evandra Florasta, a standout player from Indonesia’s U-17 national team. The rumors gained traction following a recent charity match, especially since Evandra hails from Malang, the home base of Arema FC. Currently playing for Bhayangkara FC’s youth squad, Evandra is also on the radar of other clubs, including Malut United, suggesting increasing competition for his signature.

In addition to Evandra, Arema FC is believed to be exploring options to sign experienced players from recently relegated teams. Names like Muhammad Adi Satryo of PSIS Semarang and Gustavo Tocantins of PSS Sleman have been linked to the club. These moves come as part of Arema's effort to rebuild after losing key foreign players, most recently their striker Charles Lokolingoy, who transferred to a club in South Korea.

Despite these rumors, Arema FC's management has remained tight-lipped. The club is reportedly employing a discreet approach to its transfer dealings, avoiding public statements while continuing to assess its roster needs. The management assures fans that behind-the-scenes activities are ongoing and that strategic signings are being carefully considered for the upcoming season.

As for Evandra, he has yet to confirm any formal discussions with Arema FC or other interested clubs. Without a personal agent, he remains noncommittal about his next steps, preferring to wait for clearer opportunities. While speculation continues, both the club and the player seem to be in no rush, focusing on the right timing and fit before finalizing any decisions.
