His agent: "Morimoto is leaving Catania in this session. Italy or a foreign club? Definitely the second one."
source please? By the way that would be perfect, no space in Serie A for him edit: according to his agent he's in talks with a foreign club.
hahaha, that would be hilarious - but realistically I'd be a bit suprised if it's a first division team of a top league
It seems that the club is Walter Zenga's Al Nasr. Zenga was Catania's coach in the 2008-2009, which is also Morimoto's best season in Italy, with 7 goals when he was 20yr. At Al Nasr plays already another Catania player which is Giuseppe Mascara, the only european there. The source claims that it is a loan with no buyout option, which seems unlikely, as that would mean he would be automatically a free agent in the summer (unless Catania is planning to offer him a new contract... ). I was hoping for some small european club but oh well, better than not playing, if it's true edit: source it's italian journalist Pedullà's website
Catania's DS confirming the talks: http://www.itasportpress.it/?action=read&idnotizia=106166 it is a loan with buy option though. Hochi reports another offer from Asia too, but this one seems to be going to close...
