Chanathip Songkrasin: 'No European team has ever contacted me'

The Thai media has reported that Chanathip Songkrasin is receiving the attention of many teams in Europe. Besides the talent of "Thai Messi", another reason for this player to leave is that the Consadole Sapporo management team is facing financial difficulties.

The Consadole Sapporo is in a financial crisis. Since the J-League was forced to postpone due to the epidemic, the Japanese team has lost more than 140 million yen (about 30 billion dong).

Consadole Sapporo is planning to cut player salaries or sell pillars. Therefore, rumors about "Thai Messi" playing in Europe have appeared.

However, Chanathip Songkrasin himself denied: “It is just a rumor. So far, no European teams have contacted me and offered me a proposal. At the moment, I just want to devote myself to Consadole in the future and not to consider going to find another environment ”.

Currently, the transfer value of Chanathip Songkrasin is about 120 million baht (over 80 billion dong). The player himself has repeatedly expressed his desire to play football in Europe.

Chanathip Songkrasin has established himself and has gradually become an important pillar in the Consadole Sapporo club shirt. In 3 years playing for the J-League 1 team, this player played a total of 65 matches, scoring 12 goals. He has won individual titles such as Consadole Sapporo Best Player (2018), making it to the J-League’s Best XI season 2018.
