Japan representative MF Daichi Kamata (26), who belongs to Eintracht Frankfurt, said he will remain in the team this winter before the start of the Qatar Tournament of the FIFA World Cup (Qatar World Cup). While Frankfurt’s contract period is until June next year, more clubs like Roma, Borussia Dortmund and Tottenham Hotspur are said to be able to move to acquire without transfer fees. Meanwhile, an expert familiar with Tottenham intel has offered an interesting insight into Daichi Kamata’s transfer fee. On the 10th, reports Tottenham’s specialized site “Lilywhite Rose”.
Daichi Kamada was close to a move to Benfica at the end of August this year but stayed after being persuaded by Frankfurt manager Oliver Glasner. In October, British media ‘Sky Sports’ reported that “Frankfurt have asked for a two-year contract extension until June 2025. They have offered the highest annual salary in the team,” Markus Creche SD (manager of sportsman) that the contract extension the offer was true
Furthermore, 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 stay in Frankfurt this season. Even if there is the possibility of negotiating with other clubs this winter, I don’t think I will leave immediately. No. I have spoken to manager (Oliver) Glasner that I want to finish this season in Frankfurt,” he said, revealing his policy of playing in Frankfurt for the rest of the season.
Yet, during the World Cup in Qatar, interest from Roma and Milan was signaled, and Dortmund and Benfica in Portugal’s first division are expected to move to acquire the player.
Then John Wenham, a member of Lilywhite Rose’s staff, said: “Tottenham have faced Frankfurt twice in the UEFA Champions League this season, and Daichi Kamata scored a goal in one of them.”
“We like him. He’s a good midfielder, he’s the right age, he’s got a lot of experience and could be a free contract. With Markus Thuram[del Borussia Mönchengladbach]. It’s a bit similar.”
“Tottenham could potentially save between £18m and £20m by signing him up on a free contract. He argued that a large transfer fee would be required in cases other than a zero yen move due to the expiry of his contract with the club he has belongs to.
Last season, Daichi Kamata helped win the UEFA Europa League as a central player in the attack. So far this season he has scored 12 goals and 3 assists in 22 competitive games. While he continued to show good performances, he lacked vitality, such as finishing goalless at the World Cup finals in Qatar.
