AC Milan were offered the chance to sign Daichi Kamada from Lazio this month but chose not to explore the possibility, according to a report.
Milan were heavily linked with a move for Kamada towards the end of last season given that his contract with Eintracht Frankfurt was expiring making him an appealing free transfer opportunity.
His arrival was even imminent as per some sources, but he never arrived and Kamada’s agent then revealed the backstory regarding how the saga went.
He did get a move to Serie A though, joining Lazio in the end on an initial one-year deal, but he has struggled for game time and remained an unused substitute in their last four games
According to what is being reported by Il Messaggero (via MilanNews), Kamada will remain at Lazio until the end of the season unless there are some surprise twists late in the window.
The Japan international was actually proposed to Milan, but no negotiations appear to be underway at present which suggests that the management are not interested.
However, in view of June – when his contract with Lazio will have expired – there is no shortage of options. Olympique Marseille has been following him for some time, as have Valencia and Real Sociedad.
LaLiga, writes the newspaper, would be the player’s favoured destination at present. Meanwhile, the club’s leadership are not happy with the management of the player and they could push Maurizio Sarri to use him.
people here thought he was the new Kaka lmao
its nice you can just hide now after being so toxic when Milan wouldnt sign him
I knew this guy wasn’t worth it. If he’s not cutting it at Lazio, what makes you think he’ll do well here?
If we had kept Maldini & Massara we would have signed this champion…
I remember that too , at summer window . Most ppl here keep saying sign kamada bla bla bla. Well ACM avoid the bullet , if ACM sign him , he will become bench warmer big salary just like origi
you never know how he would perform at Milan
Different team with different players
+ don’t forget..Milan was about to sign Thuram FOR FREE if it weren’t for the Milan board that wasn’t ready to give him the salary that he wanted
he is now in his prime years and he is doing pretty well for his first season in Serie A
All the Milan haters are conspicuously silent…
So many people were against me when i was telling them kamada is weak but now they are happy with loftus cheek
haha.. why you “the true fans” always bashing Maldini in every chance.
yes if Maldini stay Kamada is here
1. because jery is so generous, MM ask for SMS jery choose (smarter buy) Kamada
2. if jery not here, Kamada not here cz Messi already fill the spot
3. why you “the true fans” always nowhere to find if ex-players, great coach, legends speak about the truth, critisize the management.
4. you “the true fans” are pu55y buzzer paid to lick jery a55 so he can portrayed as hero aren’t you???
If we still play with 4231, I still think Kamada will do just fine here. He’s just not suited for Sarri’s gameplay. Just like Luis Alberto had hard times integrating with Sarri’s play.
And moreover, he’s FREE. Don’t forget that fact. Just like Inter signed Thuram for FREE (and some you double standard-er said we dodged a bullet lol). And soon Taremi and Zielinski will be signed for FREE to by them. Don’t be afraid to say that our rival doing some goood moves.
You guys having short memory or something? At the time it would have made sense. Free player who can play CAM/Left forward ie if they didn’t want to pay 22m or whatever it was for Diaz, we had a free option for a similar type player. Plus he can play left wing giving Leao a rest. Also at the time we were playing with a CAM-centric tactic/formation. That was the basis for getting him. Cheap/filled multiple roles/conducive to our tactics/had a great season prior.
But Maldini and Massara got fired, and we didn’t need him anymore as we changed tactics and formation that didn’t really need a CAM (untill now off that we switched back). This was only 5-6 months ago guys 🤦♂️
Plus these things happen. Criticize that we could have gotten Kamada who turned out to not do well in a system not designed to play to his strengths (Sarri’s 433) but at the same time also forgetting that we also were going to get Thuram who is playing lights out. These things happen like that. But with Thuram the current management actually were in negotiations with him and got their lunches taken
Personally, and I’ve written it here prior to when we were linked with him, I didn’t see the big deal in Kamada after looking at the DFB Pokal Cup. I believe I said he was just a stronger/taller Diaz but with good work rate or something to that effect lol. Both him and Ndcka. But Nd was better though he had played at left back in that match. He would have been able to play CB and left back giving Theo a rest. That was the thinking at the time. If memory serves me correctly
