On the 30th, Portuguese sports newspaper Record reported that former U-23 Japan national team midfielder Yamada Kaedeki, who has been transferred on a temporary basis from J1 Kyoto Sanga to Portuguese first division Nacional, will return to his holdings.
According to the newspaper, he said that transfer to Nacional would be difficult, and has played in 13 games so far (of which he started in seven) and played 492 minutes. He has scored one goal and two assists, but he said that the numbers would not be enough for manager Thiago Margarido to try to extend his loan again.
Last season he transferred to Tokyo Verdy on loan, scoring five goals in 21 J1 games. Although he was unable to join the team at the Paris Olympics, he was one of the most accurate place kicks from his left foot.
However, since Portugal did not achieve the results he wanted, it seems realistic that he will return to Kyoto.
Kyoto is currently in fourth place, and will they be aiming to further advance with the addition of a left-handed player who has returned to Portugal to a strong team?
