Persib Bandung is expected to generate major financial gains in the 2026/2027 season, largely due to Frans Putros and former player Gervane Kastaneer.

According to reports from TribunWow.com, both Frans Putros and Gervane Kastaneer have successfully made it into their respective national team squads for the 2026 World Cup.

Gervane Kastaneer was the first to be officially announced as part of the Curaçao national team for the 2026 World Cup.

The announcement was revealed through an Instagram post from the Curaçao national team on 18 May 2026.

Most recently, Frans Putros has been confirmed as part of Iraq’s final squad for the 2026 World Cup.

In the latest news, Bart Ramselaar has reportedly been added to Persib Bandung’s transfer shortlist.

The rumour of Bart Ramselaar being included in Persib Bandung’s shopping list surfaced in an Instagram post by @bola.lokal_ on Wednesday, 27 May 2026.

"RUMOUR

Former Netherlands national team forward Bart Ramselaar (Nl/29 years old/LWF) is reportedly set to join Persib Bandung next season.

Currently, Bart Ramselaar plays for Singapore League giants Lion City Sailors, and his contract is set to expire next month," wrote @bola.lokal_.

When it comes to achievements, Bart Ramselaar clearly outshines Mariano Peralta in terms of individual titles and accolades.

Although the Borneo FC winger did win the Liga 1 Best Player award for the 2025/2026 season, Ramselaar’s record remains more impressive.

Throughout his career, Bart Ramselaar has collected seven trophies.

These include the Singapore Cup top scorer title for the 2024/2025 season, two Singapore Cup championships, one Singapore Super Cup, and two Singapore League titles.

The most prestigious of his achievements is the Eredivisie championship with PSV Eindhoven in the 2017/2018 season.

Meanwhile, Mariano Peralta has only one Best Player award and one Regular Series championship from the 2023/2024 season.

There is also a significant difference in market value between Bart Ramselaar and Peralta.

As of December 2025, Bart Ramselaar’s market value reached IDR 20.86 billion, potentially setting a new record for the highest-valued player in Liga 1.

Peralta’s value, by comparison, is lower at around IDR 13.04 billion, a difference of approximately IDR 7 billion.

However, Persib Bandung has a strong chance of securing Bart Ramselaar’s signature.

His contract with Lion City Sailors expires on 30 June 2026, giving Persib Bandung a wide-open opportunity to sign him for the next season.

The club’s ability to negotiate contract value, salary, and additional benefits will be key to landing Ramselaar’s signature.

14. Ivan Susak

Another player reportedly on Persib Bandung’s radar is Ivan Susak, a Croatian goalkeeper currently with Lion City Sailors (LCS).

This information was revealed by the Indonesian football and transfer-focused account @transferliga1dan2 on Sunday, 31 May 2026.

"Persib Bandung (1 tier) ID is reportedly making an offer to Croatian player Ivan Susak (28), who previously played for the Singapore club Lion City Sailors," wrote @transferliga1dan2.

Before joining LCS, Ivan Susak had extensive experience playing in Europe.

He previously featured in leagues across Croatia, Slovenia, and the Czech Republic.

LCS signed Ivan Susak ahead of the 2025/2026 season.

The 2.03-metre-tall goalkeeper joined LCS from Croatian League club Slaven Belupo through a transfer deal.

During the 2025/2026 season, Ivan Susak appeared in 31 matches, playing 2,790 minutes across all competitions for LCS. He recorded 12 clean sheets and conceded 36 goals.

So, what are Persib Bandung’s chances of signing him?

Ivan Susak is still under contract with LCS until 2027.

This means Persib Bandung would need to spend a significant sum to buy out his remaining contract.

Alternatively, Persib Bandung could pursue a loan deal as another viable option to bring Ivan Susak to Bandung.
