Maeda Daizen to Maritimo Funchal ? https://www.sponichi.co.jp/soccer/news/2019/07/18/kiji/20190717s00002179490000c.html
Transferring to any club, even in the J-League, will be great for Daizen Maeda. He needs to be saved from the turmoil of being forced to play under a coach like Sorimachi.
That's great news. He was a huge positive out of the Copa America. The potential looked huge, he's like a stronger Junya.

Nagoya Grampus sacked their manager Yahiro Kazama after 9 matches winless streak. Former Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger, and former FC Tokyo manager Massimo Ficcadenti are lined-up as his successors: https://www.sponichi.co.jp/soccer/news/2019/07/21/kiji/20190720s00002179593000c.html
Wow, they did it? I mean, after two and a half strange years it was probably time to part ways. What a strange stint. Ficcadenti is way more probable than Wenger, though.
Ex-Barcelona defender Thomas Vermaelen is the late ex-Barcelona player linked to Japanese club Vissel Kobe.
FFS, who is their sporting director? Who thought this could be a good idea? I'm almost hoping they're going down, even if the last three don't seem to have the manpower to come back from the relegation zone.
Sanfrecce would want to bring Asano back. https://www.chugoku-np.co.jp/sanfre...nt_id=556380&comment_sub_id=0&category_id=131
Vermaelen is in Kobe to sign his contract. https://www.daily.co.jp/soccer/2019/07/26/0012551121.shtml
I'm torned about Kamada. Genoa plays w/ the "10" role, but I'm a Sampdoria fan and the club is in shambles.
Oh. Andreazzoli plays with 1 player behind two strikers, Kamada can definitely play as 10 but I was kinda hoping he would play second striker. We'll see.
According to Sky Sport Italy Kamada to Genoa isn't happening anymore. Eintracht wanted Boateng as replacement to Kamada but he's gone to Fiorentina instead and now they don't have a substitute.
