Semen Padang FC Welcomes Arthur Augusto to Strengthen Their Squad
Semen Padang FC has made a bold move in the transfer market as they prepare for the second half of Liga 1 2024-25. The club has officially signed Brazilian goalkeeper Arthur Augusto, who stands at an impressive 1.92 meters tall.
Arthur joins from Portuguese Liga 2 side UD Oliveirense for a transfer fee of IDR 4.35 billion. The club announced the signing on their official Instagram account on Thursday, January 9, 2025, which was met with a positive response from their fans.
The 25-year-old goalkeeper is expected to bolster Semen Padang's defense as they aim to move out of the relegation zone. His arrival is seen as a strong signal of the team’s determination to avoid dropping to Liga 2.
Semen Padang’s defense has been under scrutiny after conceding 30 goals in 17 matches during the first half of the season, including a heavy 1-8 defeat to Dewa United. Currently, they sit 17th in the league standings with 10 points, just above the relegation zone.
Arthur brings valuable experience from his time in Portugal with UD Oliveirense and CD Feirense, as well as his previous stint at Desportivo Brazil in his home country. Known for his remarkable reflexes and composure, he is expected to bring stability to the backline.
The club has been actively strengthening its squad, with Arthur being the latest addition to a group that also includes seven new signings—four foreign players: Filipe Chaby, Bruno Gomes, Marco Baixinho, and Alhasan Wakaso, as well as local players Zidane Afandi, Ichsan Pratama, and Irkham Mila.
Semen Padang FC’s management is calling for full support from their fans, as Arthur’s arrival is more than just a transfer; it symbolizes a new hope for the team. With backing from the coaching staff and management, the club is confident in its ability to overcome their current challenges.
With the addition of Arthur and other reinforcements, Semen Padang FC is targeting a move out of the relegation zone and is hopeful that his presence will be the turning point they need in this season’s Liga 1 campaign.
