Gamba Osaka sign Tomoki Kondo for $1.2M

The paperwork is done: Tomoki Kondo joins from Yokohama F. Marinos in a deal worth $1.2M. Now comes the harder part.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Shota Fukuoka in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Gamba Osaka this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad17 Aug 2026

No hiding place for Shu Kurata

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Shu Kurata, and the manager let it.

Words at Gamba Osaka training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Riku Handa is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

One of those days for Ryoya Yamashita

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.10, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Market17 Aug 2026

Still no ink between Gamba Osaka and Kaito Yasui

“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at Gamba Osaka, another week without a signature from Kaito Yasui.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Gamba Osaka pick somebody else ahead of Jun Ichimori

There is no complaint available here and everybody involved knows it, which does not make the walk to the bench any shorter. Form is the only currency in football that cannot be borrowed against.

Match15 Aug 2026

Ryoya Yamashita rescues a point for Gamba Osaka

It needed Ryoya Yamashita to find the net to bring anything home at all: 1‑1 against FC Tokyo, and half the dressing room will call it a point won.

Gamba Osaka bring in an old head

Iván Centurión is 38 and has run out of things to prove. What he has left is where to stand, when to slow it down and what to say at half-time, and none of that is on a fitness chart.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Rubén Blanco keeps Yokohama F. Marinos in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 6 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

The terraces17 Aug 2026

The boos come down from three sides

“We pay for this every fortnight. The least we want is somebody who looks like he cares.” 6 of the 28 senior players walked off into it; the rest were not playing.

Market17 Aug 2026

Tomoki Kondo moves on

Gamba Osaka pay $1.2M, and the deal is done. The number reads well on a balance sheet; whether it reads well on the pitch is next season's question.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Yokohama F. Marinos

Rubén Blanco was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Words at Yokohama F. Marinos training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Jeisson Quinones is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Match15 Aug 2026

Yokohama F. Marinos cannot find the net

3 games without scoring. Strikers stop looking up, midfielders take the extra touch, and every shot that clears the bar is followed by a groan that has been building since the last goal.

Player ratings17 Aug 2026

The one thing Dean David could not do

Shots: 9, enough of them from close enough that a striker in form scores two. He is not a striker in form.

Squad17 Aug 2026

The manager makes an example of Jeisson Quinones

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Market17 Aug 2026

Eyes on Toichi Suzuki again

The phone has started ringing about Toichi Suzuki again, and this time the name on the line is Albirex Niigata. Yokohama F. Marinos are listening politely and promising nothing.
