Okezone quoted Indonesian football expert Ronny Pangemanan as saying that Erick Thohir will have a video conference with the striker. However, expert Bung Ropan (Ronny Pangemanan's nickname) and Erick Thohir have agreed not to reveal the striker's identity to the public.
Ole Romeny is in PSSI's sights
According to Okezone , the identity of the striker was only revealed after Mr. Erick Thohir successfully negotiated naturalization similar to Jay Idzes, Justin Hubner...
"There is important news that I have to announce today (February 14). This striker is ready, but must be discussed before announcing. This striker is happy and wants to strengthen the Indonesian team. This striker is rated A", Bung Ropan revealed on his YouTube channel.
Former Persija Jakarta coach added: "Who is this striker? PSSI President Erick Thohir is still keeping it a secret. I have just talked to Mr. Erick and then he will contact this player via Zoom. After agreement, the next step is to invite the player to fly to Indonesia, specifically Jakarta. If he agrees with Erick Thohir, he will definitely be naturalized, like other players."

Earlier, Erick Thohir said in an interview that he would hold a video conference with some players of Indonesian origin to naturalize in the coming weeks. This move is to strengthen Indonesia in Group F of the second round of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers in Asia, including the two upcoming matches against Vietnam next month.
Ole Romeny is highly regarded for his goalscoring ability.
Meanwhile, Okezone predicts that the striker in question is Ole Romeny of FC Utrecht (Netherlands). Ole Romeny (23 years old, 1.85 m tall), has only scored 1 goal this season after 13 appearances in the Dutch top flight, but last season he scored 11 goals for FC Emmen. The former Dutch U.20 striker's strengths lie in his dribbling ability and composure in taking advantage of opportunities. Therefore, the presence of this player is expected to improve Indonesia's forward line.
Coach Shin Tae-yong is focusing on finding naturalized strikers. The Indonesian team's attack has not been convincing at the 2023 Asian Cup, scoring only 3 goals in 4 matches, but 1 of them was scored from the penalty spot, the other 2 goals were scored by defenders.
