Only Burgstaller with more scorers
In defender Willian Pacho, Eintracht Frankfurt has already found reinforcements from the summer and now another transfer is in the offing: As the Austrian daily newspaper “Krone” reports, the Japanese Keito Nakamura is to be drawn from LASK to Hesse. With 13 goals and seven assists, the new international is the second-best Bundesliga scorer behind Guido Burgstaller and is likely to become the club’s most expensive departure.

It is said that he will definitely dethrone Victor Sá, who moved to VfL Wolfsburg in 2019 for 3.5 million euros. The previous record proceeds should be exceeded by at least three times. In addition, according to the report, it can be heard from those around the 22-year-old left winger that he has already given notice to his apartment.

Nakamura was initially loaned to Linz’s amateur team in February 2021 and was committed to the professionals in the summer transfer period that followed – cost: 500,000 euros. While Nakamura’s market value at the time was €225,000, he is now valued at €5 million, making him the most valuable player in the squad. In the most recent update in Austria, it had increased by one million euros.
LASK sports coordinator Dino Buric kept a low profile after the 4-0 win against Austria Klagenfurt on the last day of the game with a view to Nakamura’s future: “If an immoral offer comes and we are faced with huge sums of money, then our sports director Radovan Vujanovic will also think about it.” At the moment it is “difficult to say” what will happen in the summer. Nakamura himself took a similar stance when he was recently published by the online portal “Sportive’ was asked about his plans: his dream from an early age was the Premier League, but his decision also depends on where an offer comes from. Therefore he cannot simply say that he wants to go to Germany or Italy, for example. “It would be good for me to think about what kind of career I want to pursue and how to move forward from here,” he said.
Austria expert sees Nakamura ready for Bundesliga: career “remarkable”
Dorian Schuster, Area Manager Austria at Transfermarkt, sees Nakamura ready for the German Bundesliga: “I absolutely believe him to be capable of the jump! A medium-sized company with an upward outlook like Eintracht seems to be ideal on paper. Nakamura is good at dribbling and finishing very well, and he also impresses with great positional play. The change of coach to Dietmar Kühbauer benefited him, under him he was able to improve his strengths again. Nakamura has established himself on the left wing. His career is impressive, considering that in his first half-season in Linz he wasn’t even able to assert himself among the amateurs.”
