Karlsruher SC Signs Shio Fukuda. The Japanese player will join the club for 700,000 euros. Gladbach secures a resale participation. Fukuda came into form at the end of the season. The 22-year-old Japanese player needed some time to adjust and only played in short appearances. Through Joker goals against Fürth and Bielefeld, he played himself into the starting lineup of the outgoing coach Christian Eichner in the last weeks of the past season. He scored in three consecutive games. No wonder that the KSC wants to sign the 22-year-old Japanese player. With Borussia Mönchengladbach, a purchase option of 1.5 million euros was initially agreed. According to "Sky", the clubs have now agreed on a lower transfer fee. It is reportedly 700,000 euros, which can increase to 1 million through bonuses, making him the fifth most expensive new signing of the KSC. Gladbach has also secured a resale participation and a "Matching Right", meaning they will be informed if there is a purchase offer for Fukuda at the KSC in the future.
