Nathan Tjoe-A-On Withdraws from Lyngby BK Deal After Medical Test

Jakarta, July 18, 2025 – Indonesian national team defender Nathan Tjoe-A-On has withdrawn from a move to Danish club Lyngby BK, despite completing a medical test in mid-July 2025. The deal was not finalized due to unresolved terms in the contract negotiations.

Nathan is currently a free agent after leaving Swansea City and spending a loan spell with Heerenveen. He was expected to sign shortly after the medical, but no agreement was reached within the expected timeline. Sources suggest that technical issues regarding key parts of the contract caused the delay.

His decision to wait for a more suitable opportunity is seen as a strategic move ahead of Indonesia’s crucial 2026 World Cup Qualifying matches against Saudi Arabia and Iraq. Playing consistently in Europe is regarded as essential for his preparation and overall performance.

Nathan received praise for choosing to stay in Europe and not accept offers from Indonesian clubs. His professionalism is seen as a positive reflection of his commitment to long-term development and his role in the national team.

Here are Nathan Tjoe-A-On’s latest career statistics:

Market value as of May 2025: IDR 6 billion

The situation could change as negotiations continue. Indonesian football fans hope Nathan soon secures a club that offers regular playing time in Europe to boost Indonesia’s chances of qualifying for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
