Daichi Kamada has joined a top three Bundesliga team for €22 million and will play in the Champions League this season; his value equals that of two national teams.

Why is Japanese football considered the pinnacle of strength in Asia? Because the Japanese team boasts a large number of players who are key starters in the top five European leagues. According to official news from Eintracht Frankfurt, the team that finished third in the Bundesliga last season, they have signed 27-year-old Japanese international Daichi Kamada on a five-year contract, effective until the end of June 2030, and he will wear the number 20 jersey.

According to previous reports by Romano, the transfer fee for Daichi Kamada from Freiburg to Eintracht Frankfurt was €21 million plus €1 million in performance-related add-ons.

Daichi Kamada started his overseas career early, beginning at Groningen in the Eredivisie and gradually making his way to the top five leagues. He has also played for PSV Eindhoven, Arminia Bielefeld, and Freiburg, and now joins Bundesliga powerhouse Eintracht Frankfurt, where he will compete in the Champions League this season. During his time at Freiburg, Kamada made 123 appearances, scoring 26 goals and providing 23 assists. For the Japanese national team, he has played 57 matches, netting 10 goals and assisting 9 times.

The 27-year-old Daichi Kamada stands at 1.72 meters tall, is a left-footed player primarily playing as a right winger, and is valued at €25 million, roughly double the total market value of the national team. Last season, Kamada participated in all 34 Bundesliga matches, contributing 10 goals and 7 assists, demonstrating high attendance and efficiency.
