How much Crystal Palace are offering Daichi Kamada

With Chadi Riad likely to be Crystal Palace’s first summer signing, Daichi Kamada seems poised to be the second. Kamada’s contract with Lazio expires in June, and given his previous working relationship with Palace manager Oliver Glasner, a move appears logical. Reports indicate that Palace have offered Kamada a contract worth €5 million per year (£4.2 million per year, or £81,893 per week). This substantial offer has reportedly made Kamada consider leaving Lazio, although he is still in negotiations with the Serie A club, with a decision expected by May 31st.

Securing Kamada would be a significant achievement for Crystal Palace’s sporting director Dougie Freedman and would substantially enhance the team’s attacking options. Kamada is a versatile attacking midfielder capable of playing in various forward roles, including the number 10 position, making him a suitable fit for the roles currently occupied by Michael Olise and Eberechi Eze.

At 26 years old, Kamada would bring a strong work rate to Glasner’s squad, averaging 2.1 tackles, 4.84 duels won, and 1.05 interceptions per game according to FotMob. These defensive contributions make him well-suited to Glasner’s high-pressing style. Additionally, Kamada is adept on the ball, with impressive dribbling skills and a chance creation rate of 1.4 per game. Despite a modest return of two goals and two assists this season, Kamada’s limited starts (only 17, with consistent starts only from April) suggest that his potential impact could be much greater if given a more prominent role at Palace.
