Terence Kongolo has completed his departure from Georgian side Iberia 1999, becoming a free agent after his contract with the Erovnuli Liga club ended on 2026-04-16 and was not renewed, according to registration data.
The 32-year-old centre-back, valued at €350k at the time of his exit, is now unattached and free to sign for a new club after his move was formally logged as a transfer from Iberia 1999 to N/A with no fee involved and no new contract start date registered. The outgoing deal confirms the separation but does not yet identify a next employer, underlining his status on the market rather than any immediate switch.
Kongolo’s situation is listed as “Retired” in his most recent club data, yet the official movement from Iberia 1999 into free agency indicates an administrative conclusion to his stint in Georgia rather than an active playing contract elsewhere. With the transfer entry showing N/A under both destination club and league, the move effectively places him outside any current competition structure.
Born on 14 Feb 1994 in Fribourg and standing 1.88 m tall, Kongolo has built a career as a left-footed central defender, capable of anchoring the back line and offering balance on the left side of defence. He holds nationalities for both the Netherlands and DR Congo, and is listed as retired at international level. His dual nationality and background mean his next step will attract interest both from Dutch observers and from followers in DR Congo, who have tracked his career across different leagues.
At Iberia 1999, Kongolo was part of a squad competing in Georgia’s top tier, the Erovnuli Liga, representing an overseas chapter in his career away from his home countries. The end of his contract there closes that spell, though the exact length and statistical details of his time with the club are not provided in the registration data. No appearances, goals, or specific match performances are recorded in the material available, and there is no indication of injuries or selection issues that might have influenced the decision.
The financial aspect of the move underlines his current status: the outgoing transfer is listed with no fee, while his last recorded market valuation remains at €350k, a modest figure for an experienced defender in his early thirties. That combination suggests he could be an accessible short-term option for clubs seeking experience at the back without a transfer outlay.
With no future club or league yet attached to his name, Kongolo’s next step remains open. Whether he chooses to extend his career with another move abroad or maintain the “Retired” status reflected in his player information, the conclusion of his deal with Iberia 1999 marks a clear turning point and leaves his future direction firmly in his own hands.
