Japan representative MF Daichi Kamata (26), who belongs to Eintracht Frankfurt, has declared that he will remain in the team this winter before the start of the FIFA World Cup Qatar Tournament (Qatar World Cup). While the contract period with Frankfurt is until June next year, it is rumored that multiple clubs such as Roma, Borussia Dortmund, and Tottenham Hotspur may move to acquire with no transfer fee. Meanwhile, an expert familiar with Tottenham’s information has offered an interesting view on Daichi Kamata’s transfer fee. On the 10th, Tottenham’s specialized site “Lilywhite Rose” reports.
Daichi Kamada was close to transferring to Benfica at the end of August this year, but he remained after being persuaded by Frankfurt coach Oliver Glasner. In October, the British media “Sky Sports” reported that “Frankfurt asked for a two-year contract extension until June 2025. They offered the highest annual salary in the team,” Markus Creche SD (Sports Director) also admitted that the contract extension offer was true.
Also, while the player himself is heading to Frankfurt to extend his contract, after the match against Mainz on the 12th of last month, he said, “I will remain in Frankfurt this season. Even if there is a possibility of negotiating with other clubs this winter, I do not think I will leave immediately. No. I have talked with manager (Oliver) Glasner that I want to finish this season in Frankfurt,” he said, revealing his policy to play in Frankfurt for the rest of the season.
Still, during the Qatar World Cup, interest from Rome and Milan has been reported, and Dortmund and Benfica in the first division of Portugal are expected to move to acquire the player.
Then John Wenham, a staff member of Lilywhite Rose, said, “Tottenham has faced Frankfurt twice in the UEFA Champions League this season, and Daichi Kamata scored a goal in one of them.” Mention the player’s performance.
“We like him. He’s a good midfielder, he’s the right age, he’s got a lot of experience and he could be a free deal. With Markus Thuram[from Borussia Mönchengladbach]. It’s a little similar.”
“Tottenham could potentially save between £18m and £20m by signing him up on a free deal. He argued that a large transfer fee would be required in cases other than a zero-yen transfer due to the expiration of the contract with the club he belongs to.
Last season, Daichi Kamata contributed to the UEFA Europa League victory as a central player in the offense. So far this season, he has scored 12 goals and 3 assists in 22 official matches. He continued to perform well, but was lackluster at the Qatar World Cup finals, failing to score.
