Japan's soccer world stunned by star Ritsu Doan's rumored €14.4 billion Saudi move

The Japanese football community is reportedly in a state of shock following rumors that star player Ritsu Doan is considering a move to Saudi Arabia. The 28-year-old midfielder, currently with Eintracht Frankfurt, has reportedly been offered a lucrative contract.

According to reports, Doan could receive an annual salary of 9 million euros, approximately 14.4 billion Korean won, with no income tax. This offer comes from a Saudi Arabian club, a destination that has seen a surge in high-profile player transfers recently.

The potential move has generated significant discussion and surprise within Japan's football circles. The timing and nature of the rumored transfer have left many questioning the player's intentions and the impact on Japanese football.

Doan has been a key player for both his club and the Japanese national team, and his departure to a less established football league would represent a significant loss. The reports suggest that Frankfurt may also be involved in discussions regarding the transfer fee.
