Daichi Kamada leaving Lazio?

Daichi Kamada is set to leave Lazio as part of the club's efforts to rejuvenate the squad.

In June, Lazio's president Claudio Lotito expressed his frustration over the inability to renew Kamada's contract, criticizing players who think they can blackmail the club. This indicates that Lazio attempted to extend Kamada's contract but failed.

Daichi Kamada's contract with Lazio ends on 30th June

Daichi Kamada has decided to leave Lazio. He initially wanted to stay and was seeking a one-year contract. However, due to the difficult negotiation process, he has decided to part ways with the club.

Lazio's Fabiani is upset with Kamada. Kamada was put at the center of the project by Tudor, but in the end, he has let down Fabiani. Kamada has shown that he does not care about Lazio.

Daichi Kamada, who has not triggered the renewal option with Lazio and will therefore leave. The sports director of Lazio, Angelo Fabiani, however, did not send him to tell, and stated: "I start from a fixed point, when there is wind of change or you have solid foundations or you are swept away. I have always said that the members must be at the service of Lazio, not the other way round. With Kamada last year we focused on the boy given the problems with Luis Alberto and we were looking for a player with those characteristics, Sarri gave the go-ahead on this player. The entourage and the player put conditions for an annual contract with a unilateral renewal of three years, to do this operation there were costs like two million commissions and three of engagement. Yesterday, May 30, the clause in favor of Kamada to renew expired, we found ourselves faced with something unexpected, if he had not exercised the clause he would have left without problems. The entourage asked us to repeat the same operation for another year and we found ourselves faced with a great rudeness, since we do not let ourselves be blackmailed by anyone I clearly said that we would not have submitted to this situation. Players must then be capitalized, if I had renewed the same operation there would not have been the possibility of making a capital gain. This is unacceptable, agents and players must understand that those who wear the Lazio shirt must love it."

Kamada, after a difficult start, finished the season on the rise and Lotito would like to keep him for another year in the capital. However, to stay, Kamada would want 3.5 million euros.

Daichi Kamada is facing an uncertain future at Lazio. After a difficult season, things took a turn for the better with the arrival of Igor Tudor. Under Sarri's management, Kamada was often left on the bench due to technical and tactical incompatibility with Luis Alberto. However, the arrival of Tudor has changed the situation, and Kamada is now hesitant. The player is central to both Tudor and the club's plans, but something is still missing for the contract to be renewed. Kamada would like a raise from 3 million to 3.5 million and the opportunity to sign a yearly contract. Lazio, on the other hand, wants to stick to the previous contract. Kamada has left for Japan, and his agents will handle the negotiations with Lazio. He will only have to make the final decision and, if necessary, exercise the clause, sign the new contract, or say goodbye to Lazio. Decisive moments are coming, Kamada's future will be written in the next few hours.

Kamada's contract is officially due to expire on June 30, 2024 and the agreements signed last summer include an automatic renewal clause until June 30, 2026 for 3.5 million euros per season in favor of the player who has not yet wanted to exercise it. The reason? The desire to try to get a higher salary from Lotito.

Kamada is being convinced to stay at Lazio under the new cycle with Tudor. He has been performing well recently and both Tudor and the club intend to keep him as a key player for the next season. However, his contract conditions need to be revised. According to Repubblica, Kamada does not want to trigger the renewal option in his contract and will likely be released from Lazio on May 31. There are several interested parties across Europe, but Kamada has prioritized Lazio, provided he is given a higher salary (currently 3 million per season). A deal could be reached at 3.5 million plus bonuses (totalling approximately 4 million), but the club needs to manage its finances well. With the abolition of the so-called Growth Decree, tax relief has disappeared and the gross costs for the salaries of players from abroad have almost doubled. This is an additional problem that will affect Lazio's transfer choices this coming summer.

Lazio is waiting for a response from Kamada, expected by the end of May. Kamada has a unilateral clause that he can exercise to renew until 2027, but it is not excluded that a renewal can be renegotiated under different conditions. Kamada would like to consider an annual renewal (as done by Rabiot with Juve a year ago), Lazio would like a multi-year agreement. The player's will be decisive, who now feels at the center of the project and seems to have returned to the quality midfielder admired until a year ago in Frankfurt.

Daichi Kamada could potentially transfer to a club in Bundesliga. However, it is noted that Kamada does not seem inclined to leave Roma after just one year. There have been various associations, including that with Crystal Palace and other Bundesliga clubs, but Kamada has not wavered. Since his arrival, Tudor has entrusted him with the keys to the Lazio midfield, giving him the trust that perhaps was lacking with Maurizio Sarri. Therefore, it is unlikely that Lazio will want to part with such a versatile and useful player like him.

Kamada's contract with Lazio would end in June, but there is a clause that he can trigger to extend his relationship with the club for another three years. However, Kamada is considering another solution: he has asked the club to revise the agreement to extend it for only one more year.

Daichi Kamada, the Japanese player of Lazio, is experiencing a kind of second youth, moving from being surplus with Maurizio Sarri on the bench to a key player in the hierarchy of Igor Tudor. Last summer he signed an annual contract with the biancocelesti with an option for another two seasons, but the choice on the future has not yet arrived. Confirming this is President Claudio Lotito, who, intercepted by Il Messaggero, has thrown the ball back into the field of the former Eintracht Frankfurt midfielder. An agreement already exists, it is up to Kamada to choose what to do: 'The coach is involving him and has made him a pivot for the future, now he must decide whether to stay at Lazio'.

Daichi Kamada, since the arrival of Igor Tudor as the coach of Lazio, has become a kind of new acquisition for the Biancocelesti at the end of this season. The Japanese player with Sarri was a kind of mysterious object, as his numbers tell: until the change of technical guidance, he had collected 1124 minutes in 40 matches. In the 7 matches with Tudor as coach, he has put together 458. A significant difference in employment, with the Japanese now being an important part of the present and future. By May 30, the former Eintracht will have to decide whether to extend his bond with the Biancocelesti by taking advantage of the option in the contract or to leave at zero, with Crystal Palace and Borussia Moenchengladbach already showing interest in him. However, the newfound prominence could push him to seriously consider staying in the capital.

Tudor is trying in every way to convince Kamada to stay at Lazio. The coach wants to rely on him for the midfield next year and even Lotito hopes that the player can eventually convince himself to continue his adventure in biancoceleste. Kamada came to Formello last summer on a free transfer. With Lazio, he signed a one-year contract, with a unilateral renewal option: in practice, he will decide whether or not to trigger the clause that would bind him to the biancocelesti for another three years (until 2027). He will notify the company by the end of the season (deadline set for May 30).

Daichi Kamada is currently in a state of uncertainty about his future. A month ago, the former Eintracht player was sure to leave Lazio, disappointed by the adventure in biancoceleste lived much more on the bench than on the field. With the arrival of Tudor, everything has changed, Kamada is now a protagonist and the Croatian technician is trying to convince him to stay in Rome.

Daichi Kamada arrived at Lazio in the summer as a free agent, after his release from Eintracht Frankfurt. The midfielder has never found the right feeling with Maurizio Sarri, but now, with the arrival of Tudor, he is trying to change his fate: with the former Marseille, Kamada has always started playing both in midfield and on the three quarters. And in the next few weeks his future will be decided with a truly astounding clause. In fact, Daichi Kamada can extend his contract with Lazio, at the same salary, until 2027 (by May 30) by paying 100 euros to the club. A symbolic figure, but one that will make a difference for the Japanese's future in Rome, as reported by Fabrizio Romano. If he decides not to do so, he will leave as a free agent at the end of the season. The Lazio ds Angelo Fabiani has confirmed the existence of this clause: "He has a certain type of contract that he requested in order to spend a year in Rome and reserve the possibility of staying or not. Only he can exercise the option of the clause, Lazio can do little about it.

Daichi Kamada, a Japanese midfielder who arrived last summer from Eintracht Frankfurt with a one-season contract plus an option for the next two, is finding a significant space with Tudor. He has a certain type of contract that he requested to do a year in Rome and reserve the possibility to stay or not. He can exercise the option of the clause, and Lazio can do little about it. Kamada has been showing himself to be an excellent player recently. The clause expires on May 30th and only he can exercise it. He has not yet manifested any decision.

Daichi Kamada has decided to leave Lazio in June. He will not activate the renewal option in his contract and will be free in the summer. There are several clubs from Spain and Germany who are interested in him. He would not mind a return to the Bundesliga, but he will choose his future destination calmly in the coming months.
