Johor Darul Ta’zim (JDT) have officially unveiled their third signing for the upcoming season with the arrival of highly-rated midfielder Ibrahim Manusi.
The announcement was made via a social media video post featuring Manusi donning the iconic JDT jersey, marking his official introduction to the Southern Tigers family.

The 24-year-old playmaker, affectionately known as “Baim,” rose to prominence last season with a standout campaign at Sri Pahang FC, where he was instrumental in guiding the team to a runner-up finish in the 2024/25 Malaysia Cup—ironically losing in the final to JDT.
Baim made 25 appearances across all competitions during the season, showcasing creativity, composure, and tactical maturity that caught the eye of scouts and fans alike. His development and consistency made him one of the most sought-after midfielders in the domestic scene.
His move comes on the back of Sri Pahang’s announcement that they will not be competing in the Malaysian League next season, opening the door for Manusi to take his talents to a club aiming for regional dominance.
Manusi becomes JDT’s third official signing ahead of the 2025/26 season, following the arrivals of Spanish centre-back Antonio Glauder and Brazilian striker Jairo Da Silva—both of whom bring international pedigree to the squad.
