"Nakajima is 80% in Wolverhampton." The guarantee comes from Rodiney Sampaio, president of SAD do Portimonense, in statements to Rádio Renascença.
In the last days, the departure of the Japanese player for the English club has been on the table.
“There was a conversation, but it's not 100% finished yet. It's a possibility already in January. What is at issue is the payment of the full termination clause [set at 40 million euros] or not. That's why it hasn't been finalized yet», said Rodiney Sampaio.
Originally from FC Tokyo, Nakajima arrived in Portimão, in 2017, as an unknown person, but quickly established himself as one of the best players in the Algarve. This season has already scored five goals, in the I League, in 10 games.
“He is a great player. It adapted very well to Portimonense. We will all regret his departure: the group, but also the fans. It turns out that we had no possibility of holding him”, said Rodiney Sampaio to the Renaissance.
As to Portimonense's match this Friday, December 7th, against FC Porto, at Dragão, the president of SAD said that the Algarve will "try to surprise" the national champions.
«It's a game where the chance of victory is 99% on FC Porto's side and 1% on Portimonense. The start of the season was complicated, but now Portimonense is on the rise, has a group of very good players and a competent coach. We are going to play a good game», he concluded.
