PSM Makassar Set to Finalize Brazilian Duo Alex Tanque and Lucas Dias Amid Transfer Ban

PSM Makassar is on the verge of completing its foreign player quota with the imminent arrival of two Brazilian imports, Alex Tanque and Lucas Dias. Both players reportedly landed in Makassar in the early hours of July 2, sparking excitement among fans as their presence began circulating across social media platforms. Their signings are expected to add firepower and depth to the squad ahead of the 2025-26 season.
Alex Tanque arrives after a prolific season with Cubatao, where he scored 10 goals and provided 3 assists in just 15 matches. His current market value is estimated at over Rp5 billion. Lucas Dias, on the other hand, played for Uthai Thani, registering 3 goals and 6 assists in 30 appearances, along with a market value of approximately Rp6 billion. Both players bring a mix of attacking strength and creativity to bolster PSM’s offensive unit.
Although their official announcement has yet to be made, the signings of Alex and Lucas are expected to be confirmed soon. The delay stems from PSM Makassar’s ongoing efforts to resolve a transfer ban imposed by FIFA. The club's management is proceeding cautiously, ensuring all legal matters are addressed before unveiling their new additions.
In the meantime, PSM has released two of its previous foreign players. Hermin Haljeta has moved to PSIM Yogyakarta, while Balotelli has signed with Madura United. These departures have opened up space for new international talent, signaling a fresh chapter for PSM as they rebuild their squad for the upcoming campaign.
