Layvin Kurzawa returns to service. The former left back of Paris Saint-Germain, without a club since his departure from Boavista (Portugal) in the summer of 2025, took advantage of the winter transfer window to find a new project. For the first time in his career, the French international (13 caps) will cross the borders of Europe and settle down in… Indonesia.
Persib Bandung, leader of the local championship and double title holder, announced his signing this Sunday. The Indonesian club took advantage of the match won against PSBS Biak Numfor (1-0) to present its new star in the heart of a crowded Gelora Bandung Lautan Api stadium for the occasion.
“Not a simple addition to the list of foreign players”
Aged 33, Kurzawa only played four matches last season in the colors of Boavista, the club owned by Gérard Lopez which is now close to disappearing. In Indonesia, his contract runs until the end of the current financial year. On site, the former Monegasque will meet another French player in the person of Andrew Jung, who notably played through Quevilly-Rouen, Valenciennes, Châteauroux and Concarneau.
“PERSIB officially introduced Layvin Kurzawa as the new member of Maung Bandung for the second phase of the 2025-2026 Super League,” the club wrote in a statement. “His presence is not just an addition to the list of foreign players, but is an indispensable element that the team currently needs. »
In sporting failure since his departure from the capital, the native of Fréjus has only played twelve matches over the last four seasons. At Persib Bandung, he will wear number three.
