Former Paris Saint-Germain left-back Layvin Kurzawa has signed a six-month loan deal with Persib Bandung. The 33-year-old will be officially unveiled on Sunday, January 25, 2026, following the team's match against PSBS Biak at Gelora Bandung Lautan Api Stadium. His arrival is seen as a major surprise given his free-agent status.
Layvin Kurzawa, a former Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) player, has officially joined Persib Bandung on a six-month loan contract until the end of the 2025/2026 season. This was confirmed by French outlet Foot Mercato on Saturday, January 24, 2026. As a free agent after leaving Portugal's Boavista, Kurzawa's decision to continue his career in Indonesia has surprised many football observers.
The official announcement is scheduled after Persib hosts PSBS Biak at Gelora Bandung Lautan Api Stadium on Sunday, January 25, 2026. Kurzawa will bolster the left-back position for coach Bojan Hodak's team, which is targeting success in the Super League and AFC Champions League Two. The spot is currently held by Frans Putros, Alfeandra Dewangga, and Federico Barba, with rumors of Barba's potential departure fueling speculation about Kurzawa's arrival.
Kurzawa boasts an impressive background. He played for PSG from 2015 to 2024, winning multiple titles in elite European competitions. Earlier, he rose through AS Monaco's academy to the first team. In the 2022/2023 season, he was loaned to Fulham in England before joining Boavista. Internationally, Kurzawa represented France's U-19 to U-21 teams and made 14 senior appearances with one goal between 2014 and 2019.
Kurzawa's signing is expected to strengthen Persib, which aims to claim titles in domestic and Asian competitions. Foot Mercato described the deal as 'attractive' for this Southeast Asian powerhouse competing in the Asian Champions League this season.
