Seiya Maikuma joins AZ Alkmaar

Cerezo Osaka announce that defender Seiya Maikuma has joined AZ Alkmaar of the Netherlands on a permanent basis.

Comments

"I have decided to join AZ Alkmaar of the Dutch league. Since I was the vice captain of the team this season, it was a very difficult decision for me to make in the middle of the season, but in the end, I made this decision because I wanted to be a tougher player. On June 15, after the Urawa match, I was touched by everyone's passionate thoughts and feelings. I love my teammates, the club staff, and the fans and supporters who saw me off so warmly! I am now able to take on new challenges because of the support of the Cerezo family. With your thoughts and support in my heart, I will make the cherry blossoms in full bloom in the Netherlands! Thank you for your continued support!"
