Tsuyoshi Watanabe  Transfer from Gent to Feyenoord

The sale of Tsuyoshi Watanabe to Feyenoord is completely finalized. The Japanese defender signed a four-year contract in Rotterdam.

Tsuyoshi Watanabe, a Japanese defender, has completed his transfer from AA Gent to Feyenoord. He signed a contract in Rotterdam lasting until mid-2030.

Tsuyoshi Watanabe is set to transfer to Feyenoord, with the transfer confirmed not to be in jeopardy despite the failed transfer of David Hancko. Watanabe is scheduled for a medical examination on Wednesday at De Kuip.

Feyenoord renewed their interest in Tsuyoshi Watanabe after initially rejecting AA Gent's asking price. Following the injury of Thomas Beelen, Feyenoord re-engaged in negotiations. Despite potential setbacks, the transfer is confirmed to proceed, with all parties agreeing to a transfer package of approximately 10 million euros. Watanabe is already in place to finalize the move.

Tsuyoshi Watanabe is reportedly on the verge of transferring to Feyenoord for around nine million euros. However, plans might change due to unforeseen circumstances described as a 'soap'. The 28-year-old Japanese player might be officially presented at De Kuip later today.

Tsuyoshi Watanabe is transferring from KAA Gent to Feyenoord. The clubs and the player have all reached an agreement. Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has confirmed the transfer with his 'here we go' announcement. Watanabe has a contract with KAA Gent until 2027 and a market value of 9 million euros. KAA Gent initially paid 3.5 million euros for him in the summer of 2023. The transfer fee is at least 9 million euros, higher than the initially reported 8 million euros. Medical tests in Rotterdam are scheduled, and an official announcement is imminent.

Feyenoord is set to acquire Tsuyoshi Watanabe from AA Gent. The negotiations are in the final phase, and the deal is expected to be finalized shortly. The transfer fee is reportedly eight million. Watanabe was absent from AA Gent's team presentation at the Gentse Feesten, suggesting his imminent move. He has also reportedly been in the Netherlands for medical tests and photos.

Feyenoord is interested in Tsuyoshi Watanabe and has renewed contact with AA Gent after a previous failed attempt due to a high price tag of around ten million. Watanabe has already reached a personal agreement with Feyenoord. The injury of Thomas Beelen at Feyenoord has influenced their renewed interest. The clubs are negotiating, but no concrete bid has been made yet. Feyenoord is willing to proceed even if they don't profit from a future resale.

Feyenoord hopes to finalize the transfer of central defender Tsuyoshi Watanabe today. The club has nearly reached an agreement with AA Gent. Initially, Feyenoord was not willing to pay the 10 million euros demanded by AA Gent for the 28-year-old defender, but they have now found an agreement. The exact payment amount is still unclear.

Feyenoord is considering a move for Tsuyoshi Watanabe from AA Gent. Initially deemed too expensive, the Dutch club may now have the financial capability to pursue the transfer after completing some outgoing deals.

Feyenoord is expected to make a new, concrete approach for Tsuyoshi Watanabe. They had previously approached AA Gent but were not willing to pay the 10 million euro asking price for the 28-year-old Japanese central defender. Feyenoord now has additional funds from the sale of Igor Paixão.

AA Gent is looking for funds and sees Watanabe as a potential source. Feyenoord has shown interest, but AA Gent's asking price of 10 million euros is considered too high for a 28-year-old central defender. Feyenoord has already approached AA Gent, but the Belgian club is holding firm on their valuation, hoping to attract an offer that matches their expectations. With the transfer market officially open, it remains to be seen if Gent will lower their demands or if another club will meet the asking price for the Japanese defender from the Jupiler Pro League.
