Milan duo compete for Japanese goalkeeper, Parma s price tag is 20 million euros, which is the same as his worth

Japanese football is now Asia's ceiling. Japanese players have studied abroad in large numbers in the five major European leagues. Even disadvantaged positions such as Japanese goalkeepers can gain a foothold in the five major leagues. The Milan duo are still competing for Japanese goalkeepers.

Since the contract of AC Milan's French goalkeeper Maignan expires at the end of this season, the latest report from "Gazzetta dello Sport" indicates that AC Milan is considering signing Parma's Japanese goalkeeper Ayen Suzuki in the summer window next year. Milan attaches great importance to Suzuki's goal-line skills and ball-playing ability in Serie A. In addition, Suzuki's special ability to throw the ball accurately and powerfully is a technical feature that modern football tactics value for goalkeepers. However, AC Milan faces competition from rivals Inter Milan in the same city. Chivu coached briefly in Parma and he values ​​his former disciple very much. Sommer's contract, like Maignan's, expires at the end of this season. Inter Milan has regarded Suzuki Ayen as Sommer's preferred successor.

Ayane Suzuki joined Parma from St. Turden in the summer window of 2024 for a transfer fee of 8.2 million euros. Last season was Suzuki's debut season in Serie A. She played 37 times, achieved 8 clean sheets, and averaged 1.43 goals conceded per game.

The 23-year-old Suzuki Ayyan, 1.90 meters tall, right-footed goalkeeper, is valued at 20 million euros in Germany. Therefore, Parma's price tag for Suzuki Ayyan is also 20 million euros, which is reasonable. Aya Suzuki has played in all 11 Serie A games this season, achieving 3 clean sheets and conceding 1.27 goals per game.
