According to Greek media "Nova Sport", Japanese midfielder Shinji Kagawa, who now plays for Greek Super Thessaloniki PAOK, is likely to return to the J-League this winter.
Shinji Kagawa left Zaragoza last October and was in free agency status for a while, until January this year, when he signed a one-and-a-half-year contract with PAOK. This season is already the second season with the team, and although he started in the opening game of the league, Kagawa has not been able to enter the big list due to the problem of foreign aid quotas.
In this winter's transfer market, a number of Clubs in Japan have targeted the 32-year-old Japanese midfielder because he is no longer in PAOK coach Razwan Lucescu's plans and he himself seems to be considering returning to the J-League.
Lucescu hopes that Brazilian striker Jaba, who will go to The Brazilian Second Division Vasco da Gama on loan, will return to the team, when the number of non-European players in the team will reach 8. In addition, Lucescu is also hoping to buy offensive midfielders in the transfer market this winter, and Shinji Kagawa's transfer process seems to be speeding up.
