Portimonense confirm Nakajima’s return, former FC Porto player | OneFootball

Shoya Nakajima is back at Portimonense. The Algarve club has officially announced the signing of the Japanese attacking midfielder, marking the start of his third spell with the Portimão side.

At 31, the player returns to Portuguese football after leaving Urawa Red Diamonds, where he had been playing since 2023. Nakajima will once again wear the number 10 shirt for the Portimão team.

The Japan international first wore the Portimonense shirt in 2017 after arriving from FC Tokyo, quickly establishing himself as one of the Algarve side’s key players.

His performances in Portugal later earned him moves to Al-Duhail and FC Porto. In the 2021/22 season, he returned to Portimonense, then on loan from the Dragons.

He later played for Antalyaspor and Urawa Red Diamonds before completing his return to Portuguese football.

Nakajima will be presented on Thursday, together with nine other new signings brought in by Portimonense for the new season. The club has not yet disclosed the length of his contract.
