Kotaro Nagata leaves FC Porto for UD Oliveirense on a permanent deal | OneFootball

Kotaro Nagata, a 21-year-old Japanese midfielder, will remain with UD Oliveirense, now on a permanent deal. The player had represented the Oliveira de Azeméis club in 2025/26 on loan from FC Porto, but has now signed for the oliveirenses.

His spell at FC Porto lasted just half a season and had little impact: the Japanese player featured in only five matches for the B team, starting two and coming off the bench in the other three.

In January 2026, the playmaker returned to the club that opened the doors to Portuguese football for him and played in five matches. His contribution, however, was not enough to prevent UD Oliveirense from being relegated to Liga 3.

Capped by Japan’s youth national teams on three occasions, Kotaro Nagata is looking to regain his best form at the age of 21 and will compete in the third tier in the 2026/27 season.
