Serie A side Genoa are setting out to sign Japanese players again after 24 years, and have shown interest in Eintracht Frankfurt midfielder Daichi Kamada, local newspaper Il Secolo XIX reported on 22 July.

“Their target is Kamada, the Japanese attacking midfielder. 24 years have passed since Kazu Miura, and now another Japanese has emerged for Il Grifone,” the article wrote. “Frankfurt have recalled him to the team, with a view for the Europa League qualifiers, but Genoa have long been tracking him and will now strike.”

Genoa are also targeting Schalke’s midfielder Amine Harit and Colombia-based Kevin Agudelo, but their top priority is Kamada.

Kamada, however, has stated in an interview on Frankfurt’s official channel that he intends to stay with the Bundesliga side. “I’m not thinking about leaving the club at all. I want to do my best here,” the Japan international said.
