He has just scored his first J-League goal. Against Iniesta's team, no less.

He's still just 17.

He will be 18 next summer and can join us, will be interesting if he wants a comeback or will move on with his career elsewhere

Any updates? Hope we secure him before anyone else.

 

[Andresito]

He's coming back!

He'll join Barca B this summer when he turns 18.

 

[Messi983]

Great.

He'll probably never become what he could if he'd stay here though.

 

[Leo_Messi]

Great news. Not only sporting wise but economically as well given the huge potential for revenues in Japan and East Asia if he succeeds.

Here comes the Rakuten money...

 

[EdmondDantes]

I wasn't expecting that to happen so soon since he seemed like such a valuable asset to the J League. Welcome back!

Future Ballon d'Or

Getting at Son's level would be a huge success for him and Barca. The odds are stacked against him though.

 

[God Serena]

Nice to see he still wants to return. I have doubts he'll make the first team, though.

 

[Alik]

Rooting for him. Would be an amazing story if he made it.

 

[FC433]

Taller than I thought. 1.73m at the age of 17 is good. He should get at least extra 5cm, which is great.

If he got to Sons level I would shit a brick. I think I like Son over Kane.

Really happy to see him come back. He hasn't played much in the J-League but his stats look good at J-3 where he has been playing for the U-23 side.

Hopefully he gets a solid half season in J1 2019 before joining a promoted Barca B next season. If not we would have to think of a strategic loan to avoid the beurocratic issues non-eu players face moving to Barca B. Perhaps wherever Inui is at in LaLiga to help acclimatise.
