Scottish Premier League - Nakamura weighs up Marinos move

Eurosport - Wed, 20 May 13:09:00 2009

Shunsuke Nakamura is set to decide whether to rejoin former club Yokohama Marinos after they made their move for the Celtic midfielder.

2008-2009 SPL Celtic Shunsuke Nakamura - 0

Marinos have been courting the Japan star, whose Parkhead contract expires this summer, for some time and reportedly wanted to buy him in January but were foiled after club sponsors Nissan suffered financial problems.

Marinos president Masaharu Saito said: "I called his agent to make the offer (to Nakamura). I believe he can understand our good faith and come back to us."

Nakamura, 30, has previously expressed his desire to return to his homeland, which he left seven years ago to join Reggina.

Meanwhile, goalkeeper Dominic Cervi looks set to complete a move to Parkhead.

The 22-year-old American, who has a trial with Celtic last year, has successfully applied for an Italian passport.

He said: "Once everything is wrapped up, I will head back to Glasgow to finalise that deal."

  8. 10 - I think you will find that the term @#$% was used­ by US military personnel to describe VIETNAMESE people!­ Your coment speaks volumes about the kind of person you­ are! You epitomise what the British Empire stood for -­ everything the British touched turned to 5hit! India,­ after the Raj, became partitioned into seperate­ countries, called India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh.­ Rhodesia became Zimbabwe. The Gold Coast became Ghana,­ etc, etc.. Look at the recent history of these­ countries, and you will see that before the days of­ Empire, they were actually more successful! The British­ bled then dry, then left them to rot in their hour of­ need! Yeah, that is something to be proud of.. NOT!!
