Koki Ogawa, a 29-year-old from Japan, is leaving NEC to join Machida Zelvia, the current J1 League leaders. It is reported that the striker will earn the highest salary ever for a Japanese player in that competition. Ogawa had considered staying in Europe, and interest from FC Midtjylland in Denmark became concrete, but he decided that a return to the J-League was the best option. The transfer is expected to be officially announced in a day or two. He has 18 caps and 11 goals for Japan, and according to Transfermarkt, his current market value is €2.00m.
