Persija Clarifies Rumors Surrounding Thom Haye’s Potential Transfer
The director of Persija Jakarta, Mohamad Prapanca, has addressed circulating rumors about the possible signing of Indonesian national team player Thom Haye. Prapanca admitted he is not fully informed about any transfer moves involving Persija, as the club’s new head coach, Mauricio Souza, is in charge of player recruitment. This leaves the management somewhat in the dark about ongoing negotiations.
Thom Haye is currently a free agent after his contract with Almere City was not renewed. The Dutch-Indonesian midfielder has been linked with Persija, one of Indonesia’s most popular football clubs, stirring excitement among fans. However, Prapanca humorously noted that many naturalized players are interested in joining Persija, and the final decisions rest with the coach, not the club’s management.
The club director revealed that coach Souza is directly negotiating with two local players to strengthen the squad for the upcoming season, but the identities of these players remain confidential. Prapanca emphasized that Persija’s management is only responsible for budget approval and is not interfering with the coach’s player selections, highlighting a clear division of roles within the club.
Despite widespread speculation, Prapanca confirmed that the club has not officially received any information regarding Thom Haye’s recruitment. He joked that unless there is photographic evidence of him with Haye, the rumor remains unverified. This statement underscores Persija’s cautious approach amid transfer rumors, as they prepare for a competitive new season under their new coach.
