Thailand's No. 1 star falls into an unbelievable situation in Japan

Given Chanathip's infrequent appearances in J-League 1, Thai teams such as Buriram United, Port FC, Bangkok United and BG Pathum United have begun planning to recruit him.

Thailand's number 1 star falls into an unbelievable situation in Japan

Chanathip no longer holds an official position at Kawasaki Frontale Club

But after Kawasaki Frontale Club offered 2 million USD, most teams in the Thai League gave up pursuing the number 1 star of Thai football.

According to research, currently only BG Pathum United is persisting with the deal to bring Chanathip back to the land of golden temples and the President of this club has also sent an offer to Frontale.

“I want to return to my homeland anyway. Maybe I am not suitable for my current team Kawasaki Frontale.

Fitness is only part of it, but I did get to play 60 minutes in the Japan Cup tournament.

But right now, I am still a Kawasaki Frontale player. I still have a contract with the Japanese team so it is not convenient to say anything more," Chanathip shared on the day he returned to join the Thai team.

Chanathip joined Frontale in early 2022 for $3.8 million (about VND88.5 billion) - a record transfer fee between Japanese clubs at that time.

However, the Thai player has been injured and has not been able to compete for a position. Up to now, he has only played 24 matches, including 18 matches in J-League 1 and scored one goal.

According to Transfermarkt, the 29-year-old's transfer value is currently only $1.3 million. He reached his highest value in December 2019, with $2.6 million.

Chanathip is currently joining the "War Elephants" to prepare for two friendly matches with Chinese Taipei and Hong Kong (China) in June.
