Daichi Kamata reportedly leaving the club, his successor candidate is a “Japanese midfielder”

There is a possibility that Japan representative midfielder Daichi Kamata will leave Crystal Palace at the end of this season. According to the UK’s Sky Sports, Kamata’s contract with the club expires at the end of this season, and there are no contract extension negotiations underway at this time. Kamata joined Palace in 2024 when his mentor from Frankfurt, Oliver Glasner, was appointed as manager. Last season they achieved success, finishing 12th in the league and defeating Manchester City in the FA Cup, but this season the club is at a turning point, with Eze and Guei leaving the club, and the coach announcing his resignation at the end of this season. Meanwhile, it was reported that Palace was considering acquiring Kodai Sano, who plays for Eredivisie side NEC Nijmegen, in this winter’s transfer window in anticipation of Kamata’s departure. Although it didn’t happen this time, Sano himself hopes to step up, and there is a possibility that there will be another move in the summer transfer window. Is there a future for Kamata’s departure and for a Japanese midfielder to take his place in the Premier League? We will explain the latest transfer information regarding the Premier League and the Japanese national team. #Daichi Kamata #Crystal Palace #Kota Sano
