British news agency Reuters claims that Japanese J-League club Júbilo Iwata is interested in Barcelona defensive midfielder José Edmílson (31), whose contract expires at the end of June and won't be renewed (read more here). A Júbilo official told the news agency: "He's one of the players we have short-listed. The holding midfield role is a high priority position for us."
According to Japanese media, Júbilo are preparing to offer Edmílson, who is close to a transfer to Villareal (read more here), a multi-year deal worth around 1,5 million euro° a year.

I thought his move to Villareal was pretty much a done deal? I would imagine he would rather prefer to stay in the same league and play for a very good team in Villareal than play for a much lower division team (and league) in Japan? Of course if the Japanese are potentially offering him more years on his contract you would have to consider the financial aspect as well. I wish him good luck wherever he winds up.
