Qatari first-division club Al-Duhail transferred Japanese Shoya Nakajima with a record transfer fee from Portuguese club Portimonense, Anadolu Agency reported.

According to Japanese newspapers, Al-Duhail reportedly paid €35 million ($40 million) for the Japanese left winger.

The 24-year-old broke the transfer fee record among Japanese players.

Parma had paid about $28 million to Italian rival Roma for Japanese Hidetoshi Nakata in 2001.
