Shayne Pattynama Parts Ways with KAS Eupen Before Contract Ends

Indonesian national team defender Shayne Pattynama has officially parted ways with KAS Eupen, according to an announcement on the Belgian club’s official Instagram account. The 26-year-old only joined the club in early 2024 after leaving Viking FK of Norway.

Pattynama signed a contract valid until 2026 but struggled to secure consistent minutes in Eupen’s first team. Limited playing time and the club’s unstable performance in the Belgian Pro League contributed to the mutual agreement to terminate his contract early.

Contract Terminated Before Expiry

Although Shayne Pattynama still had a full year remaining on his contract, both he and KAS Eupen agreed to end the deal prematurely. The decision followed a season in which Pattynama struggled to break into the starting lineup and only made limited appearances across all competitions.

“Shayne Pattynama leaves KAS Eupen,” read the official club statement on social media — a brief announcement that reflected a professional, mutual parting of ways.

Sources close to the club suggest that both parties had been in discussions for several weeks, with Pattynama seeking a move where he could play more regularly — a crucial factor with major international fixtures looming for Indonesia’s national team.

The mutual termination now opens the door for Pattynama to consider offers from other clubs, potentially from Asia or a return to Indonesia’s Liga 1, where he still has strong interest and market value.

His departure raises speculation over a possible return to Liga 1 Indonesia, where several clubs are reportedly monitoring his availability. With the 2025 season approaching, Pattynama may prioritize consistent playing time to retain his place in Indonesia’s national squad, especially ahead of the AFF Championship and World Cup qualifiers.
