This guy is just incredible. Kazuyoshi Miura, the oldest active footballer in the world, is showing no signs of stopping. The 55-year-old former Japan international is rumoured to be close to going back to Europe with Portuguese club Oliveirense. Just wow!King Kazu, as he’s fondly nicknamed in his homeland, had been playing around the world since becoming a star in the 1980s. And it seems that his long story will get another chapter outside the Japanese J-League.Este mundial de Japón va por Kazuyoshi Miura pic.twitter.com/3ApybPEmBd— Gotakum 🏳️🌈 (@NeoGotaku) December 5, 2022 Former Japan international forward departed for Portugal on Wednesday to hold talks with the club’s manager and check its facilities. If the move materializes, Miura will be playing in his fifth country apart from Japan, having played for clubs in Brazil, Italy, Croatia and Australia during his 37 seasons as a professional player.Miura scored two goals in 18 games last season for Suzuka Point Getters in the Japanese fourth tier while on loan from Yokohama FC. It should be noted that Yokohama FC is owned by the Onodera Group, which purchased a 52.5 per cent stake in Oliveirense in November. That’s where the link began. And the company would love nothing better than to give Japanese fans a reason to follow the 14th-placed team in Liga Portugal 2. What better way is there than to make the Japanese globe trotter their striker?##NAJAVA_MECA_6871241##It would be nice for Miura to get a taste of football in Europe once more – before he turns 60. Because maybe, just maybe, he’ll start to think about retirement then.
