Marselino Ferdinan faces uncertain future amid Oxford United omission

Marselino Ferdinan Persija Jakarta Oxford United transfer rumors Indonesian national team

Indonesian midfielder Marselino Ferdinan faces an uncertain professional future after being omitted from Oxford United’s official squad list for the 2026/2027 League One season. Despite being under contract, the 21-year-old has not been included in the club's 27-man roster following a loan spell at AS Trencin. Marselino is also currently recovering from an injury that caused him to miss the 2026 ASEAN Championship with the Indonesian national team.

Speculation regarding his next move has intensified, with rumors linking him to Persija Jakarta. Persija coach Shin Tae-yong has confirmed the club intends to recruit three new players, though Persija President Mohamad Prapanca stated he has not yet received specific names regarding potential signings like Marselino.

Amidst these transfer rumors, Marselino was recently spotted in Sevilla, Spain, leading to speculation that he may be negotiating with Spanish clubs or continuing his injury rehabilitation there.
