□Kensuke NAGAI comment
"I have decided to fully transfer to Nagoya Grampus.
Over the past five and a half years, it has been nothing but fun, and I can only express my gratitude to all the fans and supporters.
I am truly grateful to my teammates and staff. However, the decision to transfer this time was because I could no longer lie to myself about my desire to take on a challenge once again.
The competition for the championship in the 2019 season and winning the Levain Cup in the 2020 season were truly invaluable experiences during my five and a half years in Tokyo. Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, opportunities to interact with fans and supporters have decreased, and that is the only regret I have.
This feeling of gratitude cannot be expressed with just this comment. Thank you very much.
