The departure of Saint-Trond's 25-year-old Japanese starting goalkeeper, Leo Kokubo, to Parma is considered highly probable, with the situation expected to be resolved in the coming days. At Parma, he would replace former Saint-Trond goalkeeper Zion Suzuki, who has moved to Aston Villa after having been near to joining Paris Saint-Germain. Kokubo, who has not yet been capped by Japan, joined the Belgian club in July 2024 and has a contract until June 2027. His current market value is estimated by Transfermarkt at €5.00m.
