Persija Strengthens Attack with Signing of Brazilian Winger Emaxwell Souza
Persija Jakarta has taken a major step to bolster its squad ahead of the 2025-26 BRI Super League by officially signing Brazilian winger Emaxwell Souza de Lima. The club’s management is clearly focused on building a competitive team, and Emaxwell’s arrival aims to sharpen their offensive line as the season approaches. The signing reflects Persija’s commitment to enhancing their squad depth, especially with some positions still incomplete.
The transfer involved a significant investment, with Persija reportedly paying around Rp5.8 billion to acquire Emaxwell from Clube do Remo, a Serie B team in Brazil. This move highlights the club’s serious intent to bring in quality players amid fierce competition from rival teams who are also actively recruiting star players. Emaxwell brings valuable experience from Brazil’s top leagues as well as from his stint in Europe with Sweden’s Kalmar FF, which has contributed to his maturity in handling high-level competition.
Emaxwell’s playing style is expected to add variety to Persija’s attacking strategy. Known for his speed, creativity, and sharp instincts in one-on-one duels, he fits well with the club’s aggressive and dynamic approach under the new coach. His recent performance records, including scoring 11 goals in 45 matches during 2024 and 4 goals in 15 games in 2025, prove that he can be a game-changer on the wings.
With Emaxwell joining a roster that already includes several foreign players, Persija’s attacking options are more diverse than ever. Meanwhile, the team faces a setback with Ryo Matsumura sidelined for the first half of the season due to injury, which opens the door for Emaxwell to quickly secure a place in the starting lineup. His enthusiasm and determination to contribute to the club’s success have been warmly welcomed by the fans, setting high expectations for his impact in the upcoming season.
