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.
