Sanfrecce Hiroshima have announced the permanent signing of midfielder Takumu Kawamura from Red Bull Salzburg, bringing the player back to his former club. The move marks a return to Hiroshima after two years away.
The brief announcement indicates that Kawamura will head back to Japan and resume his career with Sanfrecce Hiroshima in the top flight. Salzburg also confirmed the transfer, stating that the midfielder is returning to his home country to play again for Hiroshima.
For Sanfrecce Hiroshima, the deal reunites the club with a familiar player who previously came through and played for the team before moving abroad. His return adds experience in midfield and is likely to draw strong interest from supporters who followed his earlier spell with the club.
The transfer is one of the notable moves involving a Japanese player returning from Europe this summer. With the deal now made official, attention will turn to how quickly Kawamura settles back into the squad and what role he will play in Hiroshima's midfield plans.
