Nobody could get near Dalberto
Successful dribbles: 37. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Andrian Casvari has said yes to Persijap
The last thing about a transfer that is still about the player is his signature on his own terms, and it is there. Arema have lost him in all but the paperwork.
Transfer targets10 Aug 2026
Arema bid $590.0K for Syahrian Abimanyu
The offer went to Persik this week and it is theirs to answer. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loud the door closes.
Boardroom10 Aug 2026
Arema go back to the board over Syahrian Abimanyu
The number the board signed off was not enough. It has been asked again and raised its own offer to $660.0K — a club that wants Syahrian Abimanyu enough to be asked twice.
Transfer targets10 Aug 2026
Lautaro Millán is a medical away from Arema
The deal with Independiente is done in every sense but the one that puts him on the pitch. Nothing goes wrong at this stage, except on the occasions when it does.
Squad10 Aug 2026
Tempers go at Arema
Lucas Frigeri was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.
Match8 Aug 2026
Arema come up short against PSBS Biak
PSBS Biak left with the points after a 1‑2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Arema promote Andri Irawan from within
The academy exists for exactly this morning. Andri Irawan has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

One of our own: Fachri Sulaeman joins the Arema first team
Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Fachri Sulaeman is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.
In brief
- Market Arema promote Fachri Irawan from within
- Squad A row about effort at Arema
- Squad Home is on Dalberto's mind
