Avispa Fukuoka sell a favourite for $3.5M
The accountants will call it good business and they will be right, which is not the point anybody outside the boardroom is making. Yuma Obata was one of the reasons people came, and $3.5M does not replace that by itself.

Avispa Fukuoka bid $1.9M for Ryotaro Meshino
The offer went to Gamba Osaka this week and it is theirs to answer. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loud the door closes.

Avispa Fukuoka make their move for Taiki Watanabe
$1.4M on the table at Yokohama F. Marinos. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.

Sagan Tosu tell Avispa Fukuoka: Kenta Nishizawa is not for sale
The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.
Boardroom10 Aug 2026
Avispa Fukuoka go back to the board over Hiroki Noda
The number the board signed off was not enough. It has been asked again and raised its own offer to $1.1M — a club that wants Hiroki Noda enough to be asked twice.

Tempers go at Avispa Fukuoka
Kazuki Fujita 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.

Takumi Nagaishi attracts admirers
The name of Takumi Nagaishi has come up in conversations Avispa Fukuoka were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.
