Hayato Inamura

In June 2026, reports confirmed that FC Tokyo exercised a purchase option to make the loan from Celtic permanent for a fee of approximately €1.5 million. Previously, in July 2025, it was reported that Celtic had signed the player from Albirex Niigata for a fee of around £250,000 (approximately €300,000).

Our valuation is driven by the recently completed permanent transfer of Hayato Inamura from Celtic to FC Tokyo in June 2026. The reported fee of €1.5 million is a firm and current data point. This represents a significant increase from the approximately €300,000 Celtic paid a year prior, establishing a clear market value upon his successful return to the J-League.
