2017/18 Shoya Nakajima @ Portimonense SC (POR)

Anyone know how his recovery is coming along? Is he training with the team now? What was the injury?

 

Nakajima to Al-Duhail for 35 mio Euros then supposedly PSG this summer.

Super shady if true.

 

Obviously a scheme for PSG to loan a replacement for Neymar while skirting FFP :sarcasm:

 

So it' like a loan. I just don't want him to waste his talents in Qatar. Thankfully, he made an appearance with the National Team, otherwise, the Qataris would've snatched him up for their WC 2022.

 

Well, if he goes to PSG then Im ok with it. If he gets stuck in Qatar, wich I have a bad feeling he will. This sucks so much I cant even put words to it. What a waste.

 

I doubt it, I was being sarcastic. In any case there would be no possible path for him to become FIFA eligible for Qatar by 2022 even if he was uncapped by Japan at senior level.

 

yea, as the article states.. Nakajima will definitely join PSG by this summer, or next Jan.. or.. never

edit - hmm, maybe this is more realistic than i thought if they can convince him to join..

If the fee is correct, then it would be the Primeira League's 7th largest transfer of all time.

Also by far, the largest transfer by a non Big-3 team. The sad part is that most if not all of the fee would probably not be reinvested into the club.

35 mio Euros must be the several times Portimonese's yearly budget.

 

Not sure if it is a good move, I am not very optimistic if Nakajima can be a regular starter in PSG. PSG is too stacked imo.

 

He’s not going to PSG. If they really wanted him why not just pay the money upfront and get him now?

 

oh well, but a transfer to PSG is utter nonsense to me. i haven't seen such deal actually take place.. ever. so called "promises/deals"

Sourcing #AlDuhail official, #Portimonense's #JPN midfielder #ShoyaNakajima could transfer to #PSGSRFC this summer according to earlier report. #Nakajima, who withdrew from #AsianCup2019 w/injury, is set to sign Friday after medical in #Doha. #Japan #football #soccer

I lost little respect for Nakajima now this is shite.

 

Guess he'll be joining another wasted Asian talent in Korean Nam Tae Hee.

 

Only got himself to blame

 

He's supposed to be back in the starting line-up today.

 

Not even on the bench

 

Nakajima changed agents last summer under the "pressure" (to put it nicely) of his bosses at Portimao. His new portuguese representative just wants to make $$$ out of him.
That being said, Neymar is out for 2 months and if he plays at the level we know he can ...

 

Actually, Neymar could be out for the whole season...

 

Portimonense's coach confirms that Nakajima has been sold, while strangely evading the question of the destination.

It is rumored that he will sign for Qatari club Al-Duhail and he will then loaned directly to PSG as a replacement for Neymar (who is not likely to return from injury for 2 months).

PSG cannot sign him directly due to transfers fair play rule.

 

What a mysterium. Weird stuff. Wonder if he knows himself or is he just a brick in the game of $$$$.

 

Theo Fonseca confirms the news and says that Rui Faria talked Nakajima into joining Al-Duhail.

Hopefully it means PSG rates him and all this fiasco is for PSG to get him without violating the rule

 

Thank you Rui. Thanks.
