Played 56' in the victory of Aalen against relegated Resenburg. Two matches and he will face next season.
Takuma Abe is seen as surplus in the Aalen team, and they are happy to send him off somewhere else. Apparently, Carl-Zeiss Jena, a Regionaliga Nortost team, is interested in signing him.
It would be weird for him to go to a 4th tier since he could easily find a J2 club, but maybe he's in for some adventure
Aalen should still have Murakami though, so not too bad for Japan. Haven't heard much from him lately though.
