Cerezo Osaka announce that Motohiko Nakajima joins Vegalta Sendai on a permanent basis.

Comments

"I have been supported by so many people since my time in the academy. I was unable to achieve any results in the 100 Year Vision League, but I am truly grateful for the passionate support from everyone who kept urging me to score right until the very end. I am deeply sorry that I could not produce any results despite that. I have nothing but gratitude for the fans and supporters who continued to cheer me on passionately no matter the circumstances. I do not want to leave a long, drawn-out comment, so I will keep it brief. Leaving the club that I have admired and loved since I was a child was not an easy decision, but please believe that it was a choice I made precisely because I was a Cerezo supporter myself. I was the one who loved Cerezo the most. To everyone who has been involved with me up to this point, thank you so very much for everything."
