Abu Razard Kamara has completed a move from PSM Makassar to fellow Indonesian Super League side PERSIS Solo on a free transfer, signing a contract that runs from 2026-02-06 to 2027-12-31. The 28-year-old Liberia international centre-forward arrives with a current market valuation of €250k, strengthening PERSIS’s attacking options with immediate effect.
The deal sees PERSIS secure a proven top-flight striker at no transfer cost, while PSM Makassar lose a player whose value has steadily risen over the past two seasons. Both clubs compete in Indonesia’s Super League, meaning Kamara will remain in the same national competition but switch cities and dressing rooms as he begins the next phase of a notably itinerant career.
Kamara joins PERSIS as an experienced, right-footed centre-forward whose primary role is through the middle of the attack. Born in Monrovia and standing 1.82m tall, he has built his reputation as a physically capable front man, combining presence with mobility. His career path has taken him far from Liberia, underscoring how firmly his professional life is rooted abroad rather than in his home domestic scene.
Before leaving PSM Makassar, Kamara had already accumulated significant experience across Asia and beyond. His move to PERSIS follows a short spell at PSM that began after a transfer from Oman’s Al-Seeb Club, itself preceded by a stint with Manama Club in Bahrain. Earlier, he featured in the United Arab Emirates with Dibba Al-Hisn SC and in Malaysia with Kuching City, where his market value climbed in stages from €100k to €200k, reflecting positive performances in the Malaysian league.
Prior to his Asian ventures, Kamara spent several seasons in Europe’s smaller competitions. He played in North Macedonia for Makedonija Gjorce Petrov, in Kosovo for both KF Dukagjini and FC Feronikeli 74, and in Slovenia for NK Rudar Velenje. Even earlier, his professional journey began in Laos, turning out for Champasak Avenir FC, CSC Champa FC and VSV United, after leaving Liberian side Ganta Black Stars. That sequence charts a steady progression through diverse footballing environments, from Laos and Liberia to the Balkans and the Gulf, and finally to Southeast Asia’s Super League.
His market value history underlines the momentum behind this latest transfer. After early valuations around €50k–€75k during his time in Kosovo and Slovenia, Kamara’s worth rose again at Kuching City and then at Al-Seeb, eventually reaching €250k during his PSM Makassar spell. Securing a player at that valuation on a free transfer positions PERSIS to extract considerable sporting upside without the financial outlay that would usually accompany such a profile.
There is no indication in the data that Kamara is approaching free agency at the end of his current agreement with PERSIS, but the fixed contract term to 2027-12-31 means his next decision point is already defined. By then, the Liberian forward will be in his early thirties, and his performances in Solo are likely to determine whether he continues in Indonesia’s Super League, seeks another move abroad, or considers a late-career switch closer to home.
For now, the confirmed move to PERSIS cements Kamara’s status as a Liberian footballer whose career is firmly anchored overseas, with Indonesia’s top flight the latest stage. How he adapts to his new club and how effectively he translates his varied international experience into goals and performances will go a long way towards shaping the next chapter of his professional reputation.
