Suzuki Zaion, the gatekeeper of the Japanese national team, is emerging as the main character of the career reversal.

Japanese transfer market expert Marco Mola reported on his personal SNS on the 4th (Korea time) that `Suzuki Zion is interested in Manchester United's recruitment.'

Mola 'Suzuki was so close to a transfer that he also had a video call with coach Erik tenhach in 2023, and is currently playing for Parma. Bayern Munich is also interested in Suzuki, so the competition is expected to break out.'




Suzuki was born to a Ghanaian father and a Japanese mother and made his first professional debut in Japan. He made his debut with the Urawa Reds and later moved to Sintrawidan in 2023. At the time of the transfer, the name was linked to big clubs, including rumors of a transfer to Manchester United. In the summer of 2024, he entered the top five European leagues heading to Serie A Parma.

The evaluation of Suzuki is sharply divided. His excellent pass skills and kick ability using his feet are highly evaluated, but his unstable ball handling has been pointed out several times as a weakness. In particular, he was criticized for excessive mistakes at the 2024 Asian Cup in Qatar, and he was humiliated by being selected as the Worst 11 in various media after the end of the tournament. However, after the transfer to Parma, the evaluation is gradually increasing due to its performance.

Before Manchester United, Suzuki was already mentioned as a candidate for Bayern's next goalkeeper. Germany's Bild said: "'Bayern plans to keep Neuer as its main goalkeeper until the next season and will select alternative candidates along with him.' Cologne goalkeeper Jonas Urwig is among the leading candidates. Besides, Brighton's Bart Perbruichen and Parma's Suzuki Zaion were included in the recruitment list' Suzuki mentioned.




None of the Asian players played as the main goalkeeper of the 'Lebaumun' represented by Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Bayern Munich. Bayern already has Asian players Kim Min-jae and Hiroki Ito, but both players are center backs. The same goes for Manchester United's gatekeeper. Interest is expected to be enormous if the best clubs representing Europe compete to recruit Suzuki as the gatekeeper.

Many fans are expected to pay attention to whether Suzuki will enter a big club based on this interest and build a career as a goalkeeper that will remain in Asian history.
