" Player leaves Cardiff City permanently "

Cardiff City player sold without playing a single minute in 18 months

Cardiff City defender Ryotaro Tsunoda has been sold back to former club Yokohoma F. Marinos without registering a single minute of competitive action in a Bluebirds shirt.

Cardiff City reportedly paid £1.5 million for Ryotaro Tsunoda.


"The defender joined the Bluebirds in January 2024 and experienced two loan spells in Belgium with K.V. Kortrijk.

"We'd like to wish Tsuno the very best of luck for the future."

Tsunoda becomes the 14th player to leave the club this summer, with nine players' contracts not renewed, Callum O'Dowda having been sold and Roko Simic and Michael Reindorf sealing loan moves away.

£1.5m is the fee, said the Japanese media when this was first reported.

Allows some funds for darko perhaps

Looks like that rumour is not true.

Right decision if he's never going to play for us.

Another bad signing and a waste of money.

Can we start bringing in these "quality signings" now.

13 out 0 in...... is shambolic.

still don't understand why we signed him in the first place

Don't know what the hold up with Trott is. He was at the game on Saturday and apparently told people it was done.

I remain relaxed about the situation. We'll bring the right three or four players in.

The squad numbers had to be cut, the squad was far too big and of those who have gone, O'Dowda is the only one that bothered me. He didn't want to stay so that was the right decision.

Hopefully the Trott announcement is soon and then another to follow shortly afterwards.

Another of those "club signings" like Simic. Total waste of time and money.

Thankfully seems those days have gone as the manager ripped up the club transfer targets when he came in.

Just on a player leaving permentaly cannot fathom why o' dowda went for free wax he not under a contract or had it finished.?

The transfer committee rides again

It wasn't for free, we got a small fee for him.

He didn't want to stay so it was better for everyone to allow him to leave. No point keeping players who don't want to be at the club.

Very very strange Ned ????

Just another example of isolated thinking in the club. They don’t call us an agents dream for nothing.

The club are quick to shout down any comments of a lack of plan, and then they serve up transfers like this. I get you need to plan ahead and not every transfer works out, but when you’re sold something that’s too good to be true, it very often is. Until we get a proper football structure, it’ll repeat, as it has done for the last decade.

Dragged over here on false pretences, signings no one was willing to take ownership of and they wasted a valuable chunk of their career. Transfers that demand an explanation?

How would it be money laundering if it’s between to official clubs? Laundering is from undeclared source to a legitimate home.
Genuine question as I’m in the finance industry

Can't see how it can be claimed to be anything to do with money laundering. If anything i guess it was to get around some transfer rules regarding transfers from outside Europe and work permits that may have affected K.V. Kortrijk .

Anyway, we should retire his shirt number. What a legend.

still don't understand why we signed him in the first place

He was signed for tabs other team KV because I don't think they could sign players at the time
