□Kensuke NAGAI Player Comment
"I have decided to make a full transfer to Nagoya Grampus."
For the past 5 and a half years, there has been nothing but enjoyable moments, and I can only express my gratitude to all the fans and supporters.
I am truly grateful to my teammates and staff. However, I decided to transfer this time because I couldn't lie to myself about wanting to challenge myself again.
The 5 and a half years in Tokyo were truly irreplaceable, with the championship battle in the 2019 season and the Levain Cup victory in the 2020 season. Since the outbreak of the coronavirus, there have been fewer opportunities to interact with fans and supporters, and that is the only regret I have.
This feeling of gratitude cannot be expressed with just this comment. Thank you very much."
